Songfacts®:

  • This was released as the second single from Kellie Pickler's first album for Black River Entertainment. The Kyle Jacobs, Tammi Kidd Hutton and Fred Wilhelm penned song finds Pickler warning a guy that she won't be tied down anytime soon.

    "It's a fun song, and the lyrics are clearly me," said the singer. "My husband [Kyle Jacobs] wrote it, and he didn't really know what he was signing up for when we got together. I love that it starts off, 'Boy, there's a few things you need to know about me before you let your sweet heart get in too deep.' And, 'Little Bit Gypsy' is a fun song in our shows, too."
  • The hand-clapping anthem encapsulates Pickler and her approach to life. She explained, "I was doing an interview, and a gentleman said, 'So, if I were to tell someone who doesn't listen to country music and is not familiar with you to get one song off iTunes to download that kind of describes you in a nutshell, what would it be?' I thought and then I said, 'I don't think I've written it yet, but I'm going to,' and my husband and I wrote it that night."
