The song was the first song written by Hiatt following his sobriety from drugs and alcohol, which had contributed to his marriage breakdown and his being released by former record labels. Hiatt's original attempt at recording the song took place at a friend's studio and included a larger instrument accompaniment. However, the recording was plagued by technical issues. The morning after, Hiatt was informed that his estranged wife had committed suicide. Hiatt attributes the technical problems with the original recording as a sign that the song was not meant to be heard that way, and he eventually released the song with a much simpler piano accompaniment.

"Have a Little Faith in Me" is the first single from Coverage (2003), the third studio album from Mandy Moore. The song was written by John Hiatt and produced by John Fields. The song was included on her first greatest hits album The Best of Mandy Moore (2004).
