"'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, and the song "Walk Away" from Nelly's album 'M.O.' in the same year. It is the lead single from Nelly's country-influenced eighth studio album 'Heartland'. Florida Georgia Line released an "FGL Remix" of the track on the digital-exclusive deluxe edition of their fifth studio album 'Life Rolls On'.

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, during a three-week visit to Nashville by Nelly. 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. 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".

Critical reception



Angela Stefano of 'Taste of Country' said the song had a "dance-ready beat" that fits "comfortably within Nelly's catalog". 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. 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. Chuck Arnold of 'New York Post' ranked the song as the second worst one of 2021.

Live performances



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