Background

[edit | edit source]

"Loved You a Little" has been described as a "break-up anthem".[7] John O'Callaghan spoke about the meaning of the song in an interview with Alternative Press stating, "This song is for anyone feeling like they wasted their time on a feeling."[7] O'Callaghan also stated while writing "Loved You a Little, he wanted Adam Lazzara on the track and even wrote his parts before he could say no.[1] O'Callaghan wanted to trade off singing parts, as if they "were both telling the same story but from different perspectives."[1] The group had never done something like that before, which presented itself with what the band described, "a new set of challenges."[8] This is the second time The Maine has worked with Taking Back Sunday after their cover of Girls Just Want To Have Fun.


Lazarra said that he was "excited" when the band reached out about the collaboration as he needed, "something to do."[7] Charlotte Sands who was also featured on the song, called it an "honor" to be a part of the track and collaborating with the Maine and Adam Lazarra, who she cites as her two biggest inspirations.[7]

The band teamed up with Alternative Press and released a limited edition red heart flexi-disc single of the song in April 2022.[9] An acoustic version of the song was released on May 20, 2022.[10]
