"It Takes More" is a song by British rapper Ms. Dynamite, released as her debut single from her first album, A Little Deeper (2002), on 20 May 2002. It reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart, her second-highest-charting song on the chart. The melody is taken from the song "Chitarra romana", a popular Roman song written by C. Bruno (pseudonym of Bruno Cherubini) and Eldo Di Lazzaro in 1934.[1]

Versions

There are two versions that were released, album and radio edit. For the radio edit, Ms. Dynamite re-wrote her lyrics instead of using the censor option. On clean versions of A Little Deeper, a censored version is used, bleeping out inappropriate content. The album version was released on physical UK CD singles.
