"Lil Bit" is a song recorded by American hip hop artist Nelly with country duo Florida Georgia Line. It marks the third collaboration between the artists after the remix of the duo's hit single " Cruise" in 2013, [1] and the song "Walk Away" from Nelly's album M.O. in the same year. [2] It is the lead single from Nelly's country-influenced eighth studio album Heartland. [3] [4] Florida Georgia Line released an "FGL Remix" of the track on the digital-exclusive deluxe edition of their fifth studio album Life Rolls On. [5]

Background

"Lil Bit", a hip hop and country rap beat, was co-written by Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line and Nelly along with country artist Blake Redferrin and producer Jordan Schmidt, [6] during a three-week visit to Nashville by Nelly. [7] He stated the track "merges [his] hip-hop style with [Florida Georgia Line's] country style once again" and he hoped attract fans of both genres to the song. [5] Nelly described his relationship with Florida Georgia Line as "super tight", calling them "family" and said that working with them again was a "no brainer". [8]

Critical reception

Angela Stefano of Taste of Country said the song had a "dance-ready beat" that fits "comfortably within Nelly's catalog". [4] Dylan Bestler of NY Country Swag noted that the track has a "unique sound" that "leans more heavily into rap than country", adding that while it seemed unlikely the song would receive airtime on country radio, it "could be a fun song" in Florida Georgia Line live shows. [9] Chris Parton of Sounds Like Nashville said the track had "classic-rap flow" which is "mixed with self-assured singing", noting the influence of country music in the chorus. [10]

Live performances

Nelly and Tyler Hubbard performed "Lil Bit" on Good Morning America in November 2020. [11] They also performed the song on the nineteenth season finale of NBC's The Voice. [12] [13] Hubbard's bandmate Brian Kelley was unable to join them due to COVID-19 preventive measures after moving into his new home. [11]
