Let Them Be Little is the seventh studio album by American country music singer Billy Dean. His first album since Real Man seven years previous, it is also his first release on Curb Records. The album was originally to have been released in 2003, on View 2 Records, which promoted the first two singles ("I'm in Love with You" and a cover of John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"). Asylum-Curb promoted the third single, "Let Them Be Little", which was co-written by Richie McDonald, lead singer of Lonestar, and recorded by the band on their 2004 album Let's Be Us Again. After this song came "This Is the Life", "Race You to the Bottom" and "Swinging for the Fence". Also included on the album are re-recordings of "Somewhere in My Broken Heart" and "Billy the Kid", two of Dean's early singles from 1991 and 1992.
Dean produced the entire album, working with Lari White on tracks 3-7 and Ray Barnette for the rest.
