"Dynamite" is the third single released from their album Spectrum and like the previous two singles from the album was written by Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac and Andrew Wyatt. Steve also produced the single, his third one from Spectrum. Remixes of "Dynamite" were produced by Red Triangle and band member Mark Feehily, marking the first time Mark has ever had a production credit on Westlife song.[1]
In an interview, the band said, “Dynamite has got such an enchanting melody that starts off subtly and ends up quite big and euphoric. It’s about how falling in love creates such glow and light in someone’s life that it literally lights up the world around them. It’s an upbeat, fresh summer song and you could say it reflects the energy of our comeback."[2]
The first live television performance of the single happened in The One Show on 13 September 2019.
The track was included in the disc 2 number 40 of Now That's What I Call Music! 104 to be released on 8 November 2019. It is the third time in 2019 for a Westlife single to be included in the popular compilation album after "Hello My Love", and "Better Man".
This song is in the key of D major, transposing up a minor second to Eb major for the last chorus. The vocal range of the song ranges from A2 (Shane) to Bb4 (Mark).
