Car squeaks unless you apply pressure on brake

Car will squeak most of the time when I am driving unless I hit the brakes it could be the slightest pressure but it will stop until I let off. Any ideas of what it might be? Could it be a spring by any chance?

You need new pads. There is a tab that rubs against the rotors when they get to worn.

I figured it might be the brakes but I wasn't sure they were going bad I never have good luck with brakes. I always have brakes that do not stop good too.
