Rock a Little is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter and Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks.
Released in late 1985 while Fleetwood Mac were still on a lengthy hiatus following their album Mirage in 1982, Rock a Little hit the top 20 in its second week and ultimately peaked at #12 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and was certified platinum after just 1 month of its release for sales in excess of 1,000,000 units. It was also certified gold in the UK for sales in excess of 100,000 units. Although sales did not match Nicks' earlier albums, Bella Donna and The Wild Heart (both selling in excess of 4 and 2 million copies in the U.S. respectively), Rock a Little produced the hits "Talk to Me" (US#4), "I Can't Wait" (US#16), and the mainstay encore for Nicks' live shows, "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You?" (US#60). A fourth single, "Imperial Hotel" was released in Australia. The album peaked at #5 in Australia, #8 in Canada, and #30 in the UK.

“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
