Background
According to producers James Lavelle and Fraser T Smith in an interview with HitQuarters, although Dappy was involved in the writing of the song, his appearance on the final version happened by accident.
"We’d worked with him on a track called "Strong Again" ... and we wanted to work with him more because he’s an amazing talent. So 'Number 1' came about from a co-writing session. Dappy put the hook down and it sounded so good we thought it had to stay."
