'Little Wing' was released with the Axis album in December 1967 in the UK and the following month in the US. After being inspired by events at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, Hendrix completed the song in October 1967, when it was recorded by the Experience during the sessions for their second album Axis: Bold as Love. He developed the song while performing in New York City's Greenwich Village prior to his involvement with producer Chas Chandler. The origins of 'Little Wing' have been traced back to the 1966 recording of '(My Girl) She's a Fox', an R&B song which features Hendrix playing Curtis Mayfield-influenced guitar accompaniment. At about two and a half minutes in length, it is one of his most concise and melodically focused pieces. Lyrically, it is one of several of his songs that reference an idealized feminine or guardian angel-like figure.

It is a slower tempo, rhythm and blues-inspired ballad featuring Hendrix's vocal and guitar with recording studio effects accompanied by bass, drums, and glockenspiel.
