SZNZ: Spring (2022)

Overview

At a Weezer concert in 2023, Rivers Cuomo prefaced an acoustic performance of "A Little Bit of Love" by explaining that he had wanted to write an optimistic song to cheer up his mother, who had gone through difficult times in her life.^[2]

The existence of the song was first teased via a Google spreadsheet shared by Rivers Cuomo on his Discord channel as well as on Riverpedia.^[3] The sheet compiled various planned concepts for Weezer's upcoming album series SZNZ, listing "A Little Bit of Love" as the lead single for Spring. Cuomo later confirmed the song's placement as the lead single on February 18, 2022 via his Discord server.^[4]

Cuomo uploaded a ten-second clip of the song on his Discord channel on February 25.^[5] He uploaded the clip as part of a video on his Tik Tok account on February 26.^[6] On March 1, the official Weezer YouTube account would upload it to their channel, under the title "Before you know it Spring will be here".

The song was officially announced on March 11, along with the announcement of SZNZ as a whole, with a release date set for the following Wednesday (March 16). An additional clip of the song was accidentally used for that day's Weezle puzzle before being quickly taken down.^[7] Multiple solo Rivers Cuomo demos of "A Little Bit of Love" were leaked on December 25, 2022. The song was debuted live by Weezer on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on March 21, 2022.

Lyrics

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Take a look at where you started from
And where you are today
You climbed mountains, swam oceans
You got knocked down and kept going
In the end, you know you got to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

All your wounds are healing fine
I'm so glad I got you in my life
Now the winter frost is gone
Now is a chance to live the life we want

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Everybody, everybody's lost
And that's okay
Some show it, some hide it
But there's a battle we're all fighting
So if you're looking for the words to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Holdin' on to the rabbit's feet
Walking down the sunny side of the street
Shadows creeping at your back
You can forget 'em like an amnesiac

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Love is really like a wonder-drug
Let's medicate
And say goodbye to the drama
It's a beeline to Nirvana
If you're looking for the words to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Hey, whoa, hey, whoa
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Take a look at where you started from
And where you are today
You climbed mountains, swam oceans
You got knocked down and kept going
In the end, you know you've got to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Hey, whoa, hey, whoa
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa

A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Take a look at where we started from
And where we are today
Some healing, some praying
And our troubles are fading
In the end, you know you got to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Daffodils and celandines
Rabbit hoppin' on the village green
Joy is arriving on the scene
Best of all, you're here to share it with me

A little bit, a little bit of love
Goes a pretty long way
Everybody, everybody's lost
And that's okay
Some show it, some hide it
But there's a battle we're all fighting
So if you're looking for the words to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

All our wounds are healing fine
I'm so glad I got you in my life
All the winter frost is gone
Now is our chance to live the life we want

A little bit, a little bit of love
Will change your life
Everybody, everybody come
To paradise
You'll know it, you'll feel it
When you start to believe it
So if you're looking for the words to say
A little bit of love goes a pretty long way

Hey, whoa, hey, whoa
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa

A little bit, a little bit of love
Will change your life
Everybody, everybody come
To paradise
Some healing, some praying
And our troubles are fading
In the end, you know you got to say

Hey, whoa, hey, whoa
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa

A little bit of love goes a pretty long way
