Selah Sue explains about "Ragamuffin": "this song simbolizes me".

-Floating through the space of my design-.

"Raggamuffin" was used to label Jamaican poor people, Rastas and musicians from there. Then derives as "ragga". The term "raggamuffin music" describes the music of Jamaica's "ghetto dwellers" and now is a subgenre of dancehall music or reggae.

The term "rag" is derived from the Middle English "ragge", from (assumed) Old English "ragg", and from the Old Norse "rogg" meaning "tuft or shagginess."
