"Little Baby Nothing" was the sixth single taken from the debut full-length album — Generation Terrorists — by the Welsh group the Manic Street Preachers. It features vocals by former porn star Traci Lords.
Originally, the band wanted the duet to feature vocals by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, but she couldn't be released from her PWL contracts. She later performed the song live with the group and collaborated with them on her 1997 album Impossible Princess.
The track "Suicide Alley" had previously been released as the Manics' debut single. It was included on CD1 as copies of the original 7" release were already fetching £250-300 at auction. The inclusion of the song on CD also upset Glen Powell's plans to reissue the single. Powell had produced the original version and still owned the master tapes.
The promotional video for the song was directed by music journalist Steven Wells and featured the first appearance on screen by pop duo Shampoo.
The song is rarely performed live by the band.
