"Dynamite" is a song by British singer and songwriter Taio Cruz from the revised version of his second studio album, Rokstarr (2010).

The song was written by Max Martin, Bonnie McKee, Benny Blanco, and Dr. Luke; the latter two are also the producers.

'"[1] Dr. Luke and Max Martin had written the melody, and asked Bonnie McKee to write lyrics.

[7] Nick Levine from Digital Spy rated the song 4 out of 5 stars and gave it a positive review, naming it "a suitably Eurohousey club pumper" and saying that it's "essentially a cheap, tasty, and entirely satisfying banger".

It also became Cruz's second consecutive number one single on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in its 21 August 2010 issue.

[13] The single debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 at number eight on the week ending 17 June 2010, marking Cruz's second Top 10 hit in the country.

As the sun goes down and night falls, Cruz gives an impromptu concert of sorts with the mechanics as his audience.

[18] Cruz has said that this is the perfect backdrop for the subtext of his song[19] and that his inspiration came from "wanting to do things on a bike" since his previous videos included cars and boats.

One of the vehicles brought for the video shoot was a "massive truck" which was used to film big screen project Universal Soldier.

"Dynamite" was covered by singer and actress China Anne McClain for the Disney Channel live-action series A.N.T.

The video of the song was released the same day as a digital download and also received frequent airplay on Disney Channel at the time of its debut on the network.

McClain performed it as her lead role, Chyna Parks, in the series' pilot episode TransplANTed.

However, afterward, she performs it with such passion and energy that it draws people into the auditorium, which was once empty aside from the panel of judges (composed of the other A.N.T.
