This is Jones' first release since 2009's The Fall. The album is produced by Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, who is notable for his production work with The Black Keys, Gnarls Barkley, and Beck among others. On April 15, the entire album streamed online on NPR.
The leading single of the album was "Happy Pills", released digitally on March 6, 2012 which debuted at 46 in US Billboard Rock Songs and 15 in US Billboard Adult Contemporary and received mostly positive reviews. It tells the story of Jones emancipating herself from a relationship and finding that she is better off alone. The second single, "Miriam", was released on July 25, 2012 and debuted at 82 in the Japan Hot 100.
Back in 2009, Norah Jones and Brian Burton jammed in the Gnarls Barkley producer's Los Angeles studio to begin work on a project about which nobody knew. They spent five days together in June 2009, working on what would eventually become Jones' fifth solo album. The sessions were fruitful, but neither of them were quite satisfied. They spent the next two years working separately on other projects: she completed her fourth studio album The Fall, recorded another album with her old Alternative Country band mates the Little Willies, which turned to For the Good Times. Burton started a new project Broken Bells with James Mercer, spending some time in studio with U2 and working on their thirteenth studio album and produced The Black Keys seventh studio album, El Camino. The duo previously collaborated on the 2011 album Rome, on which she contributed vocals to the tracks "Season's Trees", "Black" and "Problem Queen". Soon after the project was completed, the two headed into the studio again to work on her fifth album.
In summer of 2011 Jones and Burton reconvened at Burton's studio to finish up Little Broken Hearts. At this time Jones brought a handful of raw, emotionally charged new tunes she penned in the wake of a harsh breakup with her fiction-writer boyfriend. In an interview with Rolling Stone March issue she said: "I always heard the old stories about how you write better songs when you go through some shit. That sucks, but it's true!"

on The Nearness of You
The Nearness Of You - Camille Thurman -Lyrics
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams do come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you
Saxophone Musical Interlude
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness, the nearness of you
