"Little Bit" was the lead single from Youth Novels, the 2008 debut album by Swedish singer Lykke Li, and it shows how far a little can go. She wrote it with Björn Yttling, who produced it, mixed it with co-producer Lasse Mårtén and plays keyboard, mandolin and percussion on it himself, with John Eriksson on cymbal. It's hushed, coy and oddly hypnotic, and critics warmed to it; one reviewer heard everything from quasi-bossa nova to soul in the mix.
Then it went traveling. It landed on the soundtrack of the HBO series Bored to Death, Charles Hamilton sampled it on "Starchasers" from his mixtape It's Charles Hamilton, and Drake remixed it for his 2009 mixtape So Far Gone.
