After a few years away from the spotlight, Billy Dean is back with a new hit, "Let Them Be Little," and a new album of the same name in stores today. Billy revealed it really is the "little people" in his life-his kids-who keep him sane. "They ended up parenting me," said Billy. "Like, if I was fighting with my ex-wife, my little girl would go, 'Well, why don't you just not fight?'" Billy added that his kids and his life away from the music business make him a better man. "I live a real person's life," he said. "My career is not my life, and that scares a lot of people who think that means that you're not going to give it your best. Well, my message is, 'Man, let me have a life, and I'll give you the best stuff you could ever possibly listen to.'"
