Following the breakout response to her debut solo single “Two Truths and a Lie,” Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Nina Ann Nelson returns with “Just a Little,” a sleek pop and R&B-infused statement rooted in self-worth. Produced by Symphony, whose credits include ZAYN, GOT7, and Kehlani, the track sharpens Nina’s sound while keeping her soulful vocal front and center.
“This is the first time I’ve released a song while I’m still living the story it’s about,” Nina shares. “Just a Little came from a recent romantic encounter that woke me up to what I’d been accepting for way too long — counting the bare minimum as something meaningful when it just… isn’t.” The song captures that turning point with precision and attitude. “At the end of the day, half-assed is still ass. And I’m done with the bare minimum.”
Built on lush production, controlled grooves, and layered harmonies, “Just a Little” carries both heat and restraint. It sits comfortably alongside artists like Kehlani, RAYE, Cleo Sol, Kali Uchis, and Leon Thomas — balancing emotional honesty with polish and rhythm. The hook lands with quiet authority rather than volume, giving the message room to breathe.
Nina’s path to this moment has been expansive. She first gained attention as a member of Citizen Queen, the Pentatonix-created group that toured arenas and went viral with “Evolution of Girl Groups.” As an independent artist, she has stepped fully into songwriting, vocal production, and engineering, while building a massive TikTok following and earning recognition from artists like Rosalía and Leon Thomas. With “Just a Little,” she claims her space clearly and on her own terms.
