While Ella may have spent years contemplating what she wanted the song to express, the actual writing process forLittle Birdcame together in a single night.
On her Instagram, she shared some insight into the track:
“Little bird is a song about a beautiful time in my life. I spent the last two years thinking about what I wanted this song to be, only for it to be written overnight.”

Kelly Preston tragically passed away in July 2020 after a two-year battle with breast cancer.
The loss was deeply felt by her family and fans around the world.
Preston left behind John Travolta, their daughter Ella, and their younger son Benjamin, who will turn 14 in November.
In an emotional twist, theLittle Birdmusic video includes intimate home footage, featuring treasured family moments, including clips of the Travolta’s oldest son Jett.
Jettpassed away at the age of 16 during a family vacation in The Bahamas after suffering a seizure.
The inclusion of these family videos adds an even more personal touch to the song, as it encapsulates the journey of the Travolta family, both their joyous memories and their heart-wrenching losses.
In an interview withPeople, Ella opened up about the personal significance behind her latest release.
She revealed thatLittle Birdwas the last song she wrote for her EP and explained how it serves as a reflection of her own experiences of growing up in the public eye.
“I grew up very much in the public eye, and with that comes a lot of attention, especially when you lose someone,” Ella said. “There’s the natural support and global support that comes with that, but there’s also a certain expectation of how you should feel or how people assume you should feel.”
The song, according to Ella, is about staying true to those pure and personal relationships with loved ones who have passed, despite the noise and interference from outside expectations.
“It’s sort of the viewpoint of a mama bird talking to a baby bird and not letting anything else get in the way of that connection,” she explained.
Ella took her time processing her mother’s death, allowing herself to fully understand and articulate what she wanted to say.
The result was a song that came together in a way that felt natural and genuine, bringing a sense of closure to both her songwriting process and her feelings about her mom’s passing.
