Little Lion Man foi inspirada por um sentimento de fracasso e desapontamento pessoal. Marcus Mumford, o vocalista, descreveu a canção como uma espécie de confissão pública dos seus próprios defeitos. A música recebeu críticas positivas por sua intensidade emocional e sua mistura de folk com pop/rock.
