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.

The lyrics of Ms. Dynamite's "Fire" are a bit ambiguous and difficult to interpret due to the use of figurative language and slang. The first lines of the chorus, "Set the free let him fly tonight," may refer to the idea of letting someone break free from their problems or constraints and allowing them to be their true selves. It is possible that the "fire" mentioned in the chorus is a metaphor for passion, desire or life force, and the singer is encouraging someone to tap into that energy and "play" with it. The repetition of the word "fire" could be interpreted as a call to action or a celebration of intensity and creativity. The verses are a bit more difficult to understand, but there seem to be themes of love, commitment, and taking risks.
Overall, the song seems to be about embracing one's inner fire, being true to oneself, and pursuing dreams despite obstacles. The lyrics encourage listeners to step out of their comfort zone and take a chance on love or creative expression.
