"A Little in Love" was the follow-up single to "Dreamin'" from Richard's I'm No Hero album. Its release was delayed as a result of his intervening duet with Olivia Newton-John, "Suddenly" from the Xanadu soundtrack.
In the US and Canada, "A Little in Love" was followed by "Give a Little Bit More" as the third single from the album, while in Germany "A Little in Love" was released as the third single after "In the Night".[5][6] The UK and most other regions had no third single released from the album.
