Ms. Dynamite was born and raised in Archway, London, England, to a Scottish mother and a Jamaican father. She grew up listening to reggae and hip hop music. Though she wanted to become a schoolteacher or social worker, her biggest aspiration was to be a musician. She is the eldest of eleven siblings, one of whom is a grime artist known as Akala.
While working at the radio station RAW FM, Ms. Dynamite was discovered by Richard Forbes at a West End club. After working briefly with the garage act So Solid Crew, she released her debut album, A Little Deeper, in 2002, which won Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize for Album of the Year for 2002.

Ms. Dynamite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna let me go,
That is the reason why,
Me and you just flow.
It's like you make me glow.
As soon as i see you, child,
Yes, you drive me wild,
Wit' your ebony smile,
[Chorus:]
So Anyway u want it,
You know I'll always try,
And when you need it (Girl),
You know I will provide,
You know I love it (love it),
Havin' you by my side,
Let's stay together (Girl),
Oh Oh.
[Verse Two (Ms Dynamite):]
I never tasted such a sweet kiss,
And I never felt so much tenderness,
And he got me weak,
He's gone five minutes and I miss him,
I'm feelin' deep,
Baby sit down and listen.
Anytime that you ain't here you got me feenin',
For your love it feels so good it's like I'm dreamin'.
Just your touch has got my heart screamin',
It's crazy baby what ya got me feelin'.
[Chorus:]
So Anyway u want it,
You know I'll always try,
And when you need it (Boy),
You know I will provide,
You know I love it (love it),
Havin' you by my side,
Let's stay together (Boy),
Oh Oh.
[Verse Three (Keon Bryce And Ms Dynamite):]
I know something,
I do see,
Baby you got that love I need.
you're the only one that can set me free,
Boy I'll love you eternally.
I don't need nobody baby,
I really want you to know I love you crazy.
I don't need nothin' besides,
Havin' you in my life.
The lyrics of Ms. Dynamite's song "Anyway" express the singer's devotion to a particular person who she is grateful to have in her life. The song starts by acknowledging that many girls seem to be interested in the singer's partner, but she is confident that they will stay together because she and her partner just flow so well. She describes the joy she feels when she sees him and praises his special qualities that make him stand out. The chorus expresses the singer's willingness to do anything and everything for her partner to keep their relationship strong and to let him know that he is loved.
The second verse further elaborates on the depth of the singer's feelings towards her partner. She has never experienced such sweet kisses or felt such tenderness before, and his absence causes her to miss him deeply. She is consumed by their love, and nothing else seems to matter besides having him in her life. The song ends with the declaration of her eternal love for her partner and the knowledge that he is the only one who can set her free.
