"Just a Little Bit" was written and produced by the British musician Eg White, who wrote the song in collaboration with Pam Sheyne. The song was recorded by English singer Mutya Buena for her debut studio album Real Girl (2007), and serves as the album's opening track. "Just a Little Bit" was released in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2007 as the third single from Real Girl. Buena spoke about her nervousness about the song's release, saying: "I think about it all too much. Coming out of a successful group like the Subjugates, you want to do as well or better. You see so many artists who’ve come out of bands nose-dive and I think, 'I don’t want that to be me'." The CD single contains a radio edit of the song, three remixes, and its accompanying music video.

"Just a Little Bit" is an R&B song with a Motown-inspired opening. Buena's vocals in the song are soulful and upbeat. It differs from her previous single "Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)" which prominently featured synthesizers and rave elements. "Just a Little Bit" is reminiscent of the Sugababes' earlier material and has a "delicate and tender approach", according to Alex Fletcher from Digital Spy. Fletcher described the song's composition, writing: "'Just a Little Bit' takes a laid-back jazz beat, some funked-up guitar twangs, and the sort of easy listening rhythm that TLC and En Vogue used to toss about willy-nilly 15 years ago. While it's splendid to hear Buena deliver her delicious dulcet tones without Groove Armada sticking their oars in, there is more than a faint whiff of '90s nostalgia about the tune. So much so that you half expect Easther and Vernie from Eternal to join in with the harmonies at one point."
