It’s the kind of song whose chorus can give anyone a burst of power.

Haim is a band made up of three sisters, and their songs are always distinctive for the way they showcase each of their voices.
Their slightly retro, ’70s-style sound is very stylish, and “Little of Your Love” is especially charming for its upbeat sound and the cute dance the three sisters do in the video.
