As you can only imagine, Mauboy gave an emotional performance that was unsurprising to none.
Ricki-Lee asked Jess for her inspiration behind the song when she finished.
“This song means so much to me first of all, and this song really comes fro mym family so I wanted to write something that was so authentic and personal and I’ve never really done that before with any of my music, so I guess really this is about growth for me at this stage.
“With this song, the reaction has been so unbelievable. every moment that I sing it I feel that everyone’s connecting to it in their own way. I just want to thank you all for your love and support on this song,” Jessica told the crowd.
At the end of July, Jessica premiered the gorgeous music video to accompany the single.
The 29-year-old singer has dropped the one-shot music video for her touching new hit, and it’s one of her most powerful videos to date.

The song serves as the second taster from Mauboy’s upcoming fourth studio album Hilda, which will be available from October 18th.
Jessica said of the raw track, “’Little Things’ is such a personal song to me as it’s about my family – my mother and my grandmother Hilda. It is my most emotional song that I’ve ever shared, and I’m so thankful to see how many of you are already embracing it.”
“I’m really proud of this video; it’s me at my rawest and I can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to it” added the former Australian Idol and Eurovisionstar.
Jess revealed that her forthcoming LP is set to be her most personal and honest projects she has ever put out into the world.
