It was released July 31, 2012 as the third single from her debut studio album Love Me Like That (2012).[1] Peaking at number 68 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and number 5 on the Canada Country airplay chart, it is, as of March 2018, Isabella's most commercially successful single. A "radio mix" of the song was released October 21, 2014 as Isabella's second American single, following "Quarterback".[2]
"A Little More Work" is a country song additionally influenced by pop and rock[1] music with a duration of three minutes and fifteen seconds. MusicRow also described the song's sound as "bluesy".[3] It was written by Kira Isabella, Jason Phelps, and Walt Aldridge, and was produced by Jerry Lane and Mark Liggett. The song is instrumented by distorted guitars and features empowering lyrics about a girl who refuses to give up her heart easily, insisting her love interest has "a little more work" to do to keep her satisfied.[1] Isabella's "good girl who brashly goes her own way" attitude on the song has been favorably compared to Taylor Swift by Wondering Sound magazine.[4]
