Little Things Lyrics – Ella Mai | from “Do You Still Love Me?”

Ella Mai’s turning up the slow-burn romance with Do You Still Love Me?, her third studio album hitting February 6 via Interscope Records, and “Little Things” feels like that quiet morning coffee chat—smooth R&B grooves wrapping around everyday devotion like it’s the sexiest secret.

This lead single, out since November 2024, is Ella at her most tender: buttery vocals gliding over Mustard’s crisp, laid-back production laced with GYLTTRYP’s subtle synth shimmers. It’s classic R&B with a modern polish—think warm basslines and finger snaps that evoke lazy Sundays, but with those emotional hooks that stick. Co-written by Ella, Prince Charlez, Mustard, and GYLTTRYP, it’s all about celebrating the unglamorous magic in love: warming plates, packing bags, scribbling notes. No grand gestures, just that steady “I see you trying” vibe that flips the script on romance tropes. It’s her creative sweet spot—intimate confessions over beats that beg for a replay—dropping right as holiday lights fade, teasing the album’s lover’s playbook.

Do You Still Love Me? is Ella’s big swing back, executive produced by Mustard to spotlight their six-year chemistry, blending fan faves like this and “Tell Her” with 12 fresh cuts. The tracklist’s still unfolding, but early whispers point to 14 soul-stirring gems unpacking commitment’s ups and downs—think mid-tempo confessions and upbeat affirmations, all timed for Valentine’s glow. Recorded between LA sessions and late-night vibes, it’s less about heartbreak anthems and more reclaiming joy in the mess, with Mustard’s touch keeping it radio-gold without losing edge.

Ella’s owning this chapter like never before—Grammy darling off “Boo’d Up” and Heart on My Sleeve’s 2020 highs, she’s been quiet but cooking, dodging the sophomore slump with collabs that nod to her roots. Now 31, post-global tours and a low-key personal reset, she’s evolving into R&B’s unflinching romantic, trading viral virality for depth that hits different in 2026’s chaos. Her Insta announcement lit up with “this is for the lovers,” and the streams are already climbing—proof she’s not just back, she’s blooming.
