 The song is a midtempo rock and roll number similar in style to Heart's past hit "Magic Man" but much gentler than the album's hard rock debut single, "Barracuda".Although the song has endured as a fan-favorite amongst Heart's audience, "Little Queen" did not perform as well as previous singles when released, peaking at number sixty-two on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100.In concert, Heart performed "Little Queen" during the 1977-1980 tours before dropping for future tours.
