Dynamite (Sean Paul song)

"Dynamite" marks the second collaboration between Sean Paul and Sia.^[1] In 2016, Sia released a version of her single "Cheap Thrills" featuring Paul.^[2] It later reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks there.^[3] After this, Paul says he and Sia knew they would record another single to act as its follow-up.^[4] When Paul sent Sia a working version of "Dynamite", she told him that "he had another hit on his hands".^[5]

Sean Paul announced the release of "Dynamite" via his social media accounts on 16 October 2021^[6] and it was released shortly after on 22 October.^[7]

"Dynamite" is an upbeat pop and dancehall song.^[4][8] The Independent described it as a "feel-good dancefloor-filler".^[5] It was produced by Canadian duo Banx & Ranx, Greg Kurstin, and Jason Jigzagula Henriques. Banx & Ranx and Kurstin were involved in songwriting too, alongside Paul, Sia, and Nyann "News" Lodge.^[9]
