"I've Got a Little Something for You" is a song by British R&B group MN8. It was released on 23 January 1995 by Columbia and 1st Avenue as the lead single from their debut album, To the Next Level (1995). The song was written by Mark Taylor and was produced by Dennis Charles and Ronnie Wilson. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart, reached number three in France and New Zealand, and charted within the top 10 in eight other territories, including Australia, Ireland, Norway, and the Wallonia region of Belgium.

Critical reception
Gil Robertson IV from Cash Box wrote, "This sexy and hard-groove track from MN8's upcoming debut has all the right grooves to make this group a favorite of the urban set. Radio will find this track immediately accessible. The vocals are clean and the music is some of the best that I've heard in a long time." In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said, "The biggest new hit of the week comes seemingly from nowhere. A clever programme of promotional appearances from the latest batch of young swingbeaters gives MN8 the momentum they need to crash straight into the Top 10 with their first ever hit." He also complimented the "radio-friendly nature" of the track.

Everett True from Melody Maker commented, "You must have heard it by now. [...] Sex, swingbeat, style. More hooks than Pop Will Eat Itself have managed in their entire career. More pelvic thrusts in under four minutes than in a complete La Toya Jackson work-out video. More sexual innuendo than an Italian Benny Hill. MN8's debut single is best described as a "Cross between R Kelly and Eternal" (Smash Hits). It starts off sinister, turns into samba and ends up plain smutty. Every girl on my street has lusted after them for months." Mark Sutherland from NME wrote, "That all-conquering debut smash may have only offered a "little something for you" but, hey, at least it was SOMETHING. Gr8." He also praised it as "pure sexed-up swingbeat mastery".
