Canadian indie alt-pop artist Maddy Little returns with ‘All My Fault,’ a raw, bittersweet reflection on self-doubt, emotional manipulation, and the quiet power of finally choosing yourself. Written in the aftermath of a situationship defined by push and pull, the track captures the moment where self-blame gives way to clarity and growth.
Built around a stripped-back, organic production style, ‘All My Fault’ keeps its focus firmly on emotion. Little explores the toll of being caught in a cycle of unmet commitment, questioning her worth while mistaking manipulation for affection. “I was constantly either being blamed, or blaming myself,” she explains. “I didn’t think I was good enough, or I felt too weak to walk away from a situation where I wasn’t valued.”
What makes the song especially resonant is its emotional arc. ‘All My Fault’ moves from internalized blame toward self-recognition, marking a turning point where Little finds her voice and reclaims her value. The contrast between vulnerability and resolve sits at the heart of the track, mirroring the process of leaving something painful behind and stepping into something healthier.
“It feels like the end of something painful, but the beginning of something better,” says Little. “I’m finally out of that dark part of my life and focused on being happier, and I truly am.”
Recorded in a collaborative studio environment that felt intuitive and deeply understood, ‘All My Fault’ reflects the trust and emotional honesty shared between Little and her collaborators. “Anytime I’m in the studio, I always find it special,” she notes. “The people I make music with are incredibly talented, and we all just seem to get each other and what the song should be.”
