此曲為美國女歌手兼詞曲作家Jackie DeShannon與她的弟弟Randy Myers ( 註 ) 及Jimmy Holiday三人所合寫，並於1969錄唱發行，在告示牌熱門100排行榜奪得第4名，也是Jackie DeShannon在美國排行榜成績最好的一首歌。

Jackie DeShannon算得上是寫歌的才女，像她所寫的《When You Walk in the Room》、《Bette Davis Eyes》，分別成為The Searchers樂團及Kin Carnes的暢銷熱門曲。另首也是The Searchers唱紅的《Needles and Pins》，Jackie DeShannon亦有參與寫作而並未掛名。說起來，自己所寫的歌曲成為國際暢銷曲，應感覺高興、與有榮焉才是，但問題是這些歌曲的首錄發行者都是自己，掌有先機卻未能成就，想來她的內心應該很嘔。

1988，由比爾墨瑞 ( Bill Murray ) 主演的電影《Scrooged》( 台譯：回到過去 ) 即以此曲作為片尾曲，演唱此曲的為蘇格蘭女歌手Annie Lennox與美國黑人男歌手Al Green，其版本在1989獲得熱門100排行榜的第9名。其它翻唱者也不少，像The Dave Clark Five樂團、Dolly Parton等等。



人當常存悲憫之心，而由近二十年來歷次天災意外各界捐款救助的情況來看，台灣人的「愛心送暖」表現，應已是世界第一了。

註：Jackue DeShannon原名為Sharon Lee Myers

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see

Another day goes by, and still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know, we won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see. Wait and see

Take a good look around and if you're lookin' down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
