"A Little Bit Yours" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter JP Saxe for his debut studio album, Dangerous Levels of Introspection (2021). Saxe co-wrote the song with its producers, Ryan Marrone and Benjamin Rice. It was released September 2, 2020 and serves as the lead single off the album.[1] The song explores the difficulty of moving on after a breakup.[2]

Composition

[edit]

"A Little Bit Yours" is a piano-driven pop ballad written by JP Saxe, Ryan Marrone, and Benjamin Rice.[3] The song was written approximately two years before it was released due to a pause in production cause by Saxe's insecurity about being able to perform in the composed octave on the second and third chorus.[4] According to the sheet music published by Sony Music Publishing, the song was originally composed in the key of D♭ major and set to a "moderate" tempo of 90 BPM.[5] Saxe's vocals range from G♭3 to A♭5.[5] Lyrically, the song describes struggling to let go of a former lover and move on after a break up. "I think it was a song I needed to write to get over the feeling that I wrote it about," Saxe commented to Elicit Magazine.[4]

Music video

An accompanying music video directed by Nick Leopold premiered September 16, 2020.[6] The clip has a science fiction theme.[2]
