about

"We live in a world where we are constantly being told who we are", Emma G explains. "And even worse - we're valued by those descriptions. I wrote Every Little Bit because I waned to challenge those perceived values - remind the world that, despite whatever labels we're given, wrongs that we've committed, or - heaven forbid - if our very IDENTITY is perceived as immoral... I want to remind people that they're still worthy of love".

Initially, the song was written purely from the perspective of a woman [Emma G] to a man, but while on tour around the United States in 2019, Emma G changed one of the choruses to be towards a woman instead.

"I remember kind of just losing it", laughs percussionist Joey J Drums. "This country is so divided at the moment, and there is STILL so much division around the LGBTQ community - I LOVE that Emma G wanted to tackle that issue head on by changing just one word in 50% of the choruses".

Of course, in true Emma G empowerment style, however, the song clearly turns into a self proclamation of love - acknowledging that she, too, is also worthy of every little bit of love, respect and value.

"Though every fear enters into your brain, I need you to know I'm here to stay.... cos I am every little bit the one that I want, I am every little bit of my love".

lyrics

I don’t think that you know that I can read between the lines
I don’t know if you know it’s in your eyes
I don’t think you know that I would give everything to heal
I don’t know if you know that I will

Cos you are every little bit the man that I want
You have every little bit of my love
You are every little bit the girl that I want
You have every little bit of my love

I don’t think that you know that I know the way you look at me
I don’t think if you know what to believe
I don’t think that you know that I could never, ever turn away
Though it’s news to you that I should stay

But you are every little bit the man that I want
You have every little bit of my love
You are every little bit the girl that I want
You have every little bit of my love

As sure as the blood coursing through my veins
Lord knows that I can’t walk away
Though every fear enters into your brain
I need you to know I’m here to stay

Cos you are every little bit the man that I want
You have every little bit of my love
You are every little bit the girl that I want
You have every little bit of my love
I am every little bit the one that I want
I have every little bit of my love
