Background and composition

edit

"A Little Bit Alexis" was originally written into the script for "The Hospies" without lyrics, which were later written by Murphy by her own request. The track was produced by Murphy's husband Menno Versteeg and his Hollerado bandmate Nixon Boyd.[10] The three were inspired by the music of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney Spears.[1][11] The song became popular on the video-sharing platform TikTok, where fans would lip-sync and perform the original dance from the episode.[6][9]

Live performances

edit

Murphy performed the song as a duet with Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson adapted the lyrics as "A Whole Lotta Texas".[12][13][14]
