They released a single with Pete Doherty titled "Their Way" on 17 October 2005. Written by Aveling, Doherty liked the song so much he asked to sing on it. Many wrongly have reported Doherty wrote and performed this song as an apology for "stealing" Babyshambles band members Patrick Walden and Adam Ficek from Aveling's old band, The White Sport.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} This is false, as The White Sport had broken up before Walden had joined Babyshambles, Ficek did not join until later in Babyshambles career.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} The song reached number 22 in the UK Singles Chart{{cite web | last = Lamb | first = Bill | title = UK Pop Music Charts October 27, 2005 | publisher = about.com | date = 2005-10-27 | url = http://top40.about.com/od/onthecharts/a/ukcharts102705.htm | accessdate = 2007-01-13 | archive-date = 16 July 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070716045338/http://top40.about.com/od/onthecharts/a/ukcharts102705.htm | url-status = dead }} and number 2 in the UK Indie Chart.

Littl'ans have also been linked with Hedi Slimane, head designer for Dior Homme. Littl'ans wrote the soundtrack to the Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2007 catwalk show. The song was called "We Look Good Together".

Littl'ans recorded their debut album in New York and it was released in July 2008 on Revtone (USA), Vital (UK) and Vinyl Junkie (Japan).

On 21 March 2009, the band performed at the 2009 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
