about

“A Little Love” started as a demo that Julia Pratt created back in November of 2022. In the beginning, the song consisted of a simple guitar track with vocals layering upon each other, making it a full sounding ballad. However, Pratt knew that the song could best be completed as a duet and began thinking about who that second vocalist would be.

As a Philadelphia-native herself, Pratt was first introduced to Matt Quinn of Mt. Joy in August 2022 after Quinn saw a cover of Mt. Joy’s “Dirty Love” that Pratt posted to TikTok. Seeing she was based in the same city, Quinn invited Pratt to join the band on stage at The Mann later that month to sing alongside the band during “Dirty Love” live.

After the show, Pratt ended up sending Quinn a folder of demos, where Quinn heard a demo of “A Little Love” for the first time. From there, the idea sparked for the two artists to collaborate on the track together. Bringing in Alex Miller, John Mark Nelson, and Caleb Nelson (one of Mt. Joy’s longtime collaborators), the team finished the song to be a beautiful duet that sparked from a genuine friendship between two Philly artists.

lyrics

Pass on by, oh the seconds astound me
When your eyes met mine
I lost my mind, just for you to claim you found it
But it feels like you don’t want me
‘Less my heads on the wrong way round

Just when I wanna love you
You decide you love me not
I don’t wanna control you
or give everything that I got

Just when I wanna know you
You couldn’t entertain the thought
Has no one ever told you
A little love ain’t ’sposed be this hard

Crimson wine, morning light finds me aching
And the wind stings cold in my summer clothes
Oh you love to keep my waiting
Cuz it feels like you don’t want me
You just don’t wanna be all alone

Just when I wanna love you
You decide you love me not
I don’t wanna control you
or give everything that I got

Just when I wanna know you
You couldn’t entertain the thought
Has no one ever told you
A little love ain’t ’sposed be this hard
