Songfacts®:

  • "Little More Love" finds AJ Tracey reflecting on his relationships with his homies and women. He starts off the song by talking about how his success has enabled him to reward his friends and enjoy the high life with them.

    My brothers are getting by, we don't struggle anymore

    Tracey goes to say he is looking for a lady who can give him an all-encompassing love, not one who turns away from him at the first sign of trouble.

    They might love you for an hour, then they'll change in a minute
    I need that love that's like a tower, don't hold back or be frigid
  • During the second verse, Tracey gives us some biographical information.

    Got God, so we don't walk with a vest
    My name's Ché, the revolution leader from west
    So I levelled up and got Guevara inked on my chest


    His real name is Ché Wolton Grant; Tracey's mother called him Ché after the Argentine Marxist Ché Guevera. The West London artist compares himself to Guevera as both are revolutionaries; he in the British music scene, the Argentine in the Cuban Revolution.

    And I'm from Trinidad, my fam are big and bad

    Grant's father, of Afro-Trinidadian origin, is a former MC, and his Welsh mother used to be a drum-and-bass pirate radio DJ.
  • Tracey wrote the song himself while Yoz Beatz, Ryfy, Mark Raggio and Venna supplied the smooth and bouncy production. Yoz Beatz had previously contributed beats to several Pop Smoke cuts, but Ryfy, Mark Raggio and Venna never before had a credit on a major artist's song.
  • AJ Tracey co-directed the video with his usual collaborator, KC Locke. The clip picks up where the visuals for "Anxious" left off before delving further into Tracey's celebrity lifestyle.
  • Tracey dedicated the video to the rapper DMX, who passed away on April 9, 2021. The nightclub scenes feature neon blue lighting similar to the opening scenes of the 1998 crime movie Belly, which DMX starred in alongside fellow rapper Nas.

    The clip ends with a more explicit tribute, with the closing title reading: "In loving memory of DMX, thank you for everything."
