The singer used lines from 'The Men Behind The Wire', a tribute to the provisional IRA men interned in the Seventies, on her song 'Let's Do The Things We Normally Do'.
The rebel song, penned by Paddy McGuigan of the infamous Falls Road folk band Barleycorn in Belfast, is now associated with extreme republican movements such as the Real IRA and Continuity IRA.
Lyrics from the song include: "Armoured cars and tanks and guns, Came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind, The men behind the wire."
Gregory Campbell, MP for East Londonderry, expressed his disappointment to the Daily Mail: "Given her Irish roots, it is inconceivable that she doesn’t know the background of the wording
"She must know it was written about people who were murderers, arsonists and terrorists.
"She should clarify her position so that her fans and the wider public knows where she stands on these things."
Dido released her latest album Safe Trip Home on November 17.
