Little Broken Hearts was reportedly inspired by Norah Jones' break-up with a fiction-writer boyfriend. This soft, melancholy track finds her singing of being dumped for a younger woman.
Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, known for his work with Gnarls Barkley, produced the album. Jones was fascinated by his ability to create interesting sounds in the studio. "I recorded ['She's 22'] on acoustic guitar, just me singing, and yet with the effect on the vocal and the effect they put on the guitar, it just sounds eerie and beautiful in a whole other way," Jones said in the album's Spotify commentary. "It just doesn't sound like a girl and an acoustic guitar."
