"Little Numbers" is a song by Swiss-German pop duo BOY. It was written by band members Valeska Steiner and Sonja Glass for their debut studio album Mutual Friends (2011), while production was helmed by Philipp Steinke. The song was released as the band's debut single in August 2011. A folkish indie pop song, the uptempo track is built almost entirely on drums and piano. Lyrically, "Little Numbers" depicts its protagonist waiting for a call from her love interest, while killing time by daydreaming.
