"Little Things" was the second shot fired from Bush's 1994 debut Sixteen Stone, sent to American radio in April 1995 on the heels of "Everything Zen." Gavin Rossdale wrote it alone, words and music, and it catches the band at their most bruising: guitars that grind and lurch, a heavy grunge swing, and Rossdale's rasp riding on top as if he were gritting his teeth through every line.

Clive Langer produced it, and David J. Holman and Paul Palmer mixed it thick and loud, built for rock radio on a Trauma/Interscope release. It kept the album's momentum rolling until "Comedown" followed it out.
