"Dirty Little Thing" was the fourth and final single from Contraband, the 2004 debut by the supergroup Velvet Revolver, and it's hard rock with its shirt already off. The song goes back to before the lineup settled: before Scott Weiland and Dave Kushner came aboard, the band was lined up to include Josh Todd and Keith Nelson of Buckcherry, and this one was written in that stretch. Slash showed the pair the door, but Nelson kept his songwriting credit, sharing it with Weiland, Kushner, Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.
Josh Abraham produced it with the band and Andy Wallace mixed it. It went top ten on rock radio, though it couldn't match the number-one runs of "Slither" and "Fall to Pieces" before it.
