Little L
"Little L" is the lead single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, A Funk Odyssey. The song was written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith and was inspired by the breakup between Kay and his former girlfriend, Denise van Outen, over his cocaine problem. "Little L" became a hit for the band in late 2001, reaching number one in Spain, number two in Italy, and number five in the United Kingdom, Finland, and Portugal. The video features Jay Kay dancing in a futuristic nightclub.
