[4][5] "Give a Little More" was written by the band's frontman Adam Levine with keyboardist Jesse Carmichael and guitarist James Valentine.

"[8] Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote a positive review, stating that "M5 are always best when they’re uptempo, so we’re happy to hear that the song falls in line with the band’s more danceable tracks like "Wake Up Call", from their second album It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), and "Misery.

"[9] Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly wrote that "Levine's romantic roundelay trundles on, through this airy disco-boogie.

"[1] Mikael Wood from LA Times wrote that "a light-funk groove as neatly executed as the one in "Give a Little More", for instance, is its own reward".

[10] Chris Ryan from MTV News was direct, writing that "the track is classic Maroon; a slithering groove and chicken-scratch guitar laying the foundation for singer Adam Levine's nasal coo and come-hither lyrics.
