"The Little Voice" is a song by Swedish musician Sahlene from her debut studio album, It's Been a While (2003). It was released as the lead single from the album in 2000, by Roadrunner Arcade Music. The song was written and produced by Patrik Berger and Kara DioGuardi. "The Little Voice" experienced minimal commercial success in Sweden, where it peaked at number 51 on the Swedish national record chart.
Although the single received airplay, Sahlene's record company went bankrupt before the release of her debut album, and the album was shelved. But, in 2003 she finally released her debut album It's Been a While, which contained "The Little Voice". "The Little Voice" had heavy promotion and an accompanying music video was also released. The music video features Sahlene in a laboratory like set, walking around and scenes of her performing the song is also shown.
