She wrote the song with her boyfriend, Danish musician Adi Zukanovic, and it was released as a single on 26 March 2021, through Tusk or Tooth Records.

Regarding this period, she commented that her daily tasks had become draining and tiring, and that the song served "as a reminder [...] that sometimes I need to listen a little less – to stay on my path, and hold my own.

[2] Thomas Treo from Ekstra Bladet noted that despite Oh Land's presence as a judge on the Danish version of X Factor, "Listen a Little Less" underperformed on Spotify during its release week.

[7][8] The portion of the event devoted to "Listen a Little Less" was later utilized as the song's official accompanying music video, and was also uploaded to her channel on 28 March.
