"It's Always The Little Things" is an English song co-created and performed by Chinese musician Guo Ding and American singer Rachael Yamagata. It was released on November 23, 2018. The song originated when Rachael Yamagata, who was preparing for her China tour, contacted Guo Ding through the tour organizer. The two collaborated across borders via email and spent 9 months completing the creation—Guo Ding first composed the demo, Rachael Yamagata then added supplementary sections, and finally, the recording was finished separately in their respective locations.

Lyrics

It's always the little things
That sleep into your soul
How can I lie here still awake
Something inside of me is telling me to go
I've been waiting to tell you so
Mmm
Take me home and make it right
I long to see the light
I'm waiting for a sign
And I don't know if we should part
What does it mean if we give up
How can I still feel this love for all that we've been through
And I don't know what I should say
Is it the time to walk away
Should we let go or should we stay
And find a way through
Mmm
Take me home and make it right
Can you still see the best of me
Or am I falling out of sight
It's always the hardest thing
To listen to your soul
When something is telling you to go
A part of you wants to fight
And part just fly away
How I long to tell you so
And I don't know if we should part
What does it mean if we give up
How can I still feel this love
For all that we've been through
And is it time to walk away
Should we let go or should we stay
How do you know when something's too far gone to get back to
Mmm
Take me home and make it right
Can you still see the best in me
Or am I falling
Am I falling
Am I falling out of sight
