Upon released, Mauboy explained "This song is everything we want to tell our loved ones... to remind them that all we want is to be loved and appreciated in all of the things we do."[1] adding "This song could also be felt in a way that you could be an eight year old girl or boy and want to feel loved by your parents, trying to catch their attention when your parents aren't watching, to a 20 year old sharing their deepest experience and not getting that back in return from the one they love, (or) to a 50 year old who could has lost their loved one and is haunted by memories of what was unsaid."[2]

She further wrote on her Instagram that "Little Things" "holds a special place in my heart".[3]
