The first full-length album, "With Russia from Love" was released on March 17th, 2014. Throughout its existence, the group has so far released four full-length studio albums, a live album, and numerous EPs and singles.
Little Big achieved viral success upon the release of the video for "Skibidi" on October 5th, 2018. The video featured a dance that became popular when others tried to imitate it as part of the "Skibidi Challenge".
They were intended to represent Russia in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with their latest single, "UNO", but the contest was canceled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
In the month of March 2020, the official Eurovision YouTube channel put out a video demonstrating the Eurovision song that had been canceled and was their most-watched video.
In 2022, Little Big relocated to the United States in protest of the Russian government's invasion of Ukraine, parting ways with former members Sergei Gokk and Anton Lissov.

Little Big Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God, save my soul
Полюшко, поле
Полюшко, широко поле
Едут по полю герои
Ах, да русской армии герои
Видим мы седую тучу
Вражья злоба из-за леса
Ах, да вражья злоба, словно туча
God, save my soul!
God, save my soul!
God, save my soul!
God, save my soul!
God, save my soul!
God, save my soul
The lyrics of Little Big's song Polyushko Polye, translated as "Wide Field" in English, evoke the image of a battlefield where Russian heroes ride across the field, while enemy anger looms in the distance like a gray cloud. The song opens with a plea for salvation from God, perhaps indicating fear and uncertainty for the future, given the nature of the battle.
The verses then describe the scene of the battlefield, where the wide field is occupied by heroes, who are most likely Russian soldiers having fought for their country. The mention of "russoi armii geroy" (Russian army heroes) further emphasizes the patriotic nature of the song. However, in the following verse, the lyrics seem to take a dark turn as they describe a gray cloud looming over the field, symbolizing the approaching enemy. The cloud is likened to "vrazhya zloba" or enemy anger, potentially heralding a more ominous and violent outcome. The repeating plea for God to save the soul is a poignant reminder of the fragility of life in war.
One could interpret that the song is a tribute to the soldiers who fought and died for their country. The lyrics reflect the bravery and heroism of these soldiers, as well as the looming danger of the enemy, which adds a sense of urgency to the song's tone. The song acknowledges the brutality of war and the fear that comes with it, while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the soldiers who fight for their country.
