It entered the UK Singles Chart in August that year, reaching number 16 and staying for seven weeks on the chart.[2][3]

Following the death of Dekker's producer Leslie Kong in 1971, he found his music career floundering. In the mid-1970s, in an attempt at further success he combined with English production duo Tony Cousins and Bruce White, who went under the name Bruce Anthony. After two chart failures, the third single "Sing a Little Song" made the charts in 1975. As with some of Dekker's earlier releases such as "Problems", the B-side of his hit "It Mek", the song deals with life's hardships in a light-hearted manner.[4]
