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 ↴
Hear voice of Russia
The big bears talking
Vodka, garmoshka, babushka
still shocking forty-seventh is clicking
so fuck you
squatting dance till the morning
fuck you
Share our secret, were kings of the great mess
The song "With Russia from Love" by Little Big is a celebration of all things Russian. The lyrics mention several iconic aspects of the country such as the "big bears" and the traditional items like vodka, garmoshka (a Russian folk instrument), and babushka (a Russian word for grandmother). The song acknowledges the fact that even though these things may seem shocking, they are an essential part of the country's culture and tradition, dating back to the Soviet Era.
The song also refers to the year 1947, when the Soviet Union was still in power. The line "still shocking forty-seventh is clicking" is a nod to the country's past and its influence on the present. The lyrics then take on a defiant tone with the chorus of "so fuck you, squatting dance till the morning, fuck you". This might be a subtle jab at Western critics who might dismiss Russian culture as primitive or outdated.
The song then ends on a positive note with the line "Hooray winter comes, they won't get us". This might signify resilience in the face of adversity or a sense of national pride. Overall, the lyrics of "With Russia from Love" are a celebration of a country that has been through a lot and yet still manages to hold on to its traditions and culture.
