Saat One Direction mengerjakan "Take Me Home", mereka sangat bersemangat menyebarkan berita kalau dalam album ini mereka kembali bekerjasama dengan Ed Sheeran. Makanya, ketika ada kesempatan untuk merilis single kedua, dipilihlah 'Little Things' yang ditulis Ed bareng Fiona Bevan. Warna yang menghiasi album ini so pasti yang tulus dan sederhana seperti lagu-lagu akustik Ed. Perilisan ini memberikan kesempatan buat kelima cowok asal UK ini untuk sejenak melepaskan corak musik pop rock dalam rilisan single mereka, dan membiarkan pendengar disuguhi dengan vokal yang lebih terasa dalam nyanyian mereka.
Yup, nyanyian mereka. Itulah yang sejatinya sajian utama di single ini. Begitu murni terdengar, karena musik tidak menenggelamkan vokal. Durasi lagu 3 menit 37 detik hanya memperdengarkan instrumen gitar akustik yang dimainkan sebagai musik latarnya. Fans pasti senang menemukan lagu demikian dalam diskografi single boyband favorit mereka, sementara haters harus mencari alasan lain karena mereka sudah dipertemukan dengan jalan buntu untuk mengusik 1D dari sudut pandang musik.
Begitu ngena untuk sebuah lagu cinta. Kurangi gombalannya, fokuskan pada detilnya. 'Little Things' adalah deskripsi alasan-alasan yang kadang terlupakan karena dianggap tidak penting tentang bagaimana cinta itu bisa datang, tumbuh, dan berkembang. Kesan tulus dan sederhana terus mengucur dalam konsep yang dipahat dalam video musik untuk single ini. Kelima personel 1D beraada dalam studio, tiga di antaranya memainkan gitar. Semuanya bernyanyi bergantian untuk verse dan bridge, berpadu vokal di bagian chorus. Pleasant.

LYRIC
[Zayn]
Your hand fits in mine
Like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind
It was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
[Liam]
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes
When you smile
You've never loved
Your stomach or your thighs,
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
[Louis]
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
[Harry]
I know you've never loved
The sound of your voice on tape
You never want
To know how much you weigh
You still love to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you,
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
[Niall]
You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right, darling, but I want you to.
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh.
[Harry]
And I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you,
Oh, it's you,
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things
[All]
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you,
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things
