The Dublin-born artist describes the track as 'a love song, a giant surrendering’. We witness Orla push past an initial reluctance and attempt to fully break her own walls down - “I struggle saying just how much I really love you / You can thank my mom for that”.
Orla explains: “I think a lot about how to move through the world alongside a partner and for a long time I wanted to show up in relationships as easy-going & palatable, never taking up too much space - now I can’t think of anything worse. I can be loud, funny, clumsy, loyal, intelligent, annoying, caring, angry; this song is about showing up as all of it, all at once. I think dropping the act and showing your true self feels like the most vulnerable thing you can do.”
“If you really want me / take as I am.”
Accompanying the release of 'Little Chaos' is a music video directed by emerging Danish director Anne-Sofie Lindgaard. A cinematic piece anchored in a domestic space, it furthers Orla's exploration of self within the context of a relationship.

Three years on from the release of her acclaimed debut album 'Woman On The Internet', ‘Little Chaos’ marks the beginning of a new musical era for Orla, teased last year with the audacious one-off single ‘Kiss Ur Face Forever’.
