Songfacts®:

  • This euphoric song captures a chance reencounter with a former lover. Tom Grennan wants to give their relationship another go and restore the magic they once had. So to that purpose, they recall the nights they shared, the fights they had, and their favorite song.

    "I wanted to write a song that reminded me of a moment in my life where I realized I had given up something that was really making a difference in my life – in a good way," said Grennan. "It's about reconnecting. It's that feeling when you're at the top of the roller coaster and you're like: this is the best feeling."

    Grennan's "Little Bit Of Love" co-writer Peter "Lostboy" Rycroft. Lostboy's other credits include Griff's "Black Hole," Becky Hill's "Last Time," and Tiesto's "The Motto."

    London-based singer-songwriter James "Yami" Bell. He co-wrote five of the tracks on James Arthur's It'll All Make Sense In The End album, including the singles "Medicine" and "Emily."
  • Grennan recorded "Remind Me" in northwestern London with LostBoy.
