"Little by Little" is a song by English rock bandOasis, first released as the sixth track on their fifth studio album,Heathen Chemistry. In September 2002, it was released with "She Is Love" as the onlydouble A-side single by the band, peaking at number two on theUK Singles Chart and number nine on theIrish Singles Chart. "Little by Little" by itself reached number two on theCanadian Singles Chart and number five in Italy.Noel Gallagher provides lead vocals on both tracks, which he also wrote.

The promo video to the song featured a guest role byRobert Carlyle. The cover art for the single is an homage toRobert Indiana'sLove artwork series.

Liam Gallagher was originally meant to record lead vocals for "Little by Little", but according to Noel, he could not manage it. "It's a shame 'cos that would have made it extra, extra special. When it came to him (recording the vocals) you could see he was going, 'I'm not going to fucking get it.' And we were all willing him to get it. I went in and did a version and you could see he was sat at the desk going, 'Fucking bastard. He's got it.' But he doesn't want to do anything that's shit."^[1]

There are two versions of the music video, one being Noel Gallagher sitting on a doorstep singing and playing guitar as people (includingGem Archer) throw money to him. A small man (played byRobert Carlyle) mimes to Gallagher. It then shows Carlyle's character at a bus stop withAlan White and then grows to normal size and trips over but is helped up byLiam Gallagher. Carlyle's character is then last seen growing to giant size, walking into a forest and then into farmland. The alternate version shows the band playing in a concert atFinsbury Park in 2002.

The first performance on the song was on 23 May, 2002, atZepp Tokyo,Tokyo,Japan, and it quickly became a favourite for the band to play in concert. While it appeared irregularly following theHeathen Chemistry Tour before being dropped completely in 2005, it has been performed many times byNoel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, and is notable for being the only song from an album made by Oasis in the 2000s to be on theirLive '25 setlist, all the others being from either the first three albums made in the 1990s (Definitely Maybe,(What's the Story) Morning Glory? andBe Here Now), or the 1998 compilationThe Masterplan.
