Background

edit

The single was written by Horan himself, along with Afterhrs (Ian Franzino, Andrew Haas), Rocky Block, and Steph Jones. About the single, Horan said, "'Little More Time' is a song about wanting time to stand still. If you could just press pause and the world would stop yet you could still live within the world like no one was watching. I spend a lot of time away from home. So having found roots and wanting to be at home more, I felt compelled to write a song about the smaller moments and wishing that you could just stay in them."[1]

Reception

edit

Megan Parkinson of Melodic Magazine describes the song as "somewhere between soft pop and that slightly folk-tinged, easy-listening space he's made his own." Parkinson continues, "There's something about the way he stretches out the melodies that makes everything feel a bit slower, a bit softer, with a chorus that is earworm-y too."[2]

Nmesoma Okechukwu of Euphoria described "Little More Time" as having "a calm and nostalgic vibe."[3] Jazmin Williams from The Honey Pop says the song is "soft, reflective, and deeply personal", while it also "feels like something more than a song, but a universal feeling we’ve all experienced at some point. That quiet, almost aching wish to stay exactly where you are for just a second longer."[4]
