Formed in 1999, the band has four members: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet. There is no lead singer in the band; instead, they trade lead vocal duties as well as rely on the harmonies of the four members.
Little Big Town's self-titled 2002 debut for Sony's Monument Records was panned critically and did not sell commercially. The album had only one minor hit single, "Don't Waste My Time," and it wasn't long before Little Big Town was dropped from the label.
Little Big Town resurfaced on the Equity Music Group label (formed by country singer Clint Black), and on October 4, 2005, released their second album, The Road to Here. The new album was well-received critically, and spawned the smash hit single "Boondocks." Three further singles were released from the album, including the Top 5 hit "Bring It on Home."
Their second album with the Equity label, A Place to Land, was released in 2007. Although, not long after its release, the label folded. Little Big Town then re-released the album a year later via Capitol Nashville. Two of the album's singles were minor Top 40 hits.
In 2010, the group returned with "Little White Church," the lead-off to their fourth studio album, The Reason Why, which was released on August 24, 2010.

Somehow were gonna get to the bottom of this
If it takes us all night (all night)
Somehow were gonna find that moment of bliss
Come one let me kiss and make it better
Cause better ain't the best I can do
Ill take your wrong and make it right
Dry your eyes and you can bet
Any hurt that you remember

Make you numb to the pain
Hey I'll be your Novocaine
Well have us a good time (good time)
Baby let me pull you out of the shade
Meet me in the sunshine (sunshine)
Do you wanna come out and play
Baby there's been a lot of talking
Talking ain't all I wanna do
Ill take your wrong and make it right
Take your load and make it light
Dry your eyes and you can bet
Any hurt that you remember

Make you numb to the pain
Hey I'll be your Novocaine
Come on let me kiss and make it better
