"Every Little Bit Hurts" was originally a 1964 hit single for Motown soul singer Brenda Holloway, written by Ed Cobb and featured on Holloway's album of the same name.

"Every Little Bit Hurts" was included by American recording artist Alicia Keys on her live album, Unplugged (2005).

Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine felt that Keys treated the song "like [a] vocal audition[...] and not the blank canvas[...] of an interpretive artist".

[13] Directed by Justin Francis, the video premiered on January 17, 2006 on BET's 106 & Park.
