Versions edit

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.
