Big When I Was Little

The song was released as a digital download in the United Kingdom on 28 July 2013 as the lead single from her second studio album, In Your Hands (2013).

Doolittle performed the song on 4 October 2013 alongside Dionne Bromfield on CBBC show Friday Download.

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, describing it as: "reminiscing of a time when cassettes were the music format of choice, Malcolm In The Middle was everyone's favourite tea time viewing and Posh Spice was still a popstar [...] as she daydreams over her trademark blend of jazzy brass and swaying melodies.

[...] It's a charming celebration of hazy days past, but suffers from Eliza Doolittle barely moving forward."

[2] However Dan Johnson of The Bastard Lounge was less than complimentary, calling it an "infuriating throwback to The Days of Yore", "a warbling playground ditty" and "devoid of any form of meaning or emotion".
