Let It Go

## Audio

"**Let It Go**" is a song performed by American singer and songwriter Kelela. The song serves as the third track of her sophomore album Raven. It was released February 10, 2023 via Warp Records.

"Let It Go" is a mid-tempo R&B song which also had soul and funk elements. The song has contains the 'bass' instrument in a high pitch throughout it's run. The song tells a story in which Kelela is singing about her partner running away for the commitment of a relationship, and is not on the same page as her. Kelela instead asks for them to stop running and stay in the 'blue light', which most likely references her 2017 single, "Blue Light". Both tracks have a desire for their partner to keep on/stay inside the 'blue light'. The instrumental may also be based off of "Blue Light", as both tracks are extremely bass heavy.

"Let It Go" is track 8 through 14 on the average setlist for the 2023 RAVE:N tour.

## Background

The song was announced to be the album's third track via iTunes on November 15, 2022, when the album was available to pre-order.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Hmm, nah

**[Verse 1]**

Let it sink in, my love

Where you're at is enough

Care to tell me where you're going?

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

Where'd you go? Where you hidin'?

I'ma roll, I'ma roll, I'ma roll

Lemme roll, lemme ride with

**[Chorus]**

We're together now

It's just a stormy cloud

That's nowhere bound (Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

You're ready

Together now (Tell mе what you're going through)

Just a stormy cloud (I can see it's almost over)

We'rе nowhere bound (Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

And now it's raining

**[Post-Chorus]**

You run around

I go inside

You're running around

Just come on inside

**[Verse 2]**

Where you goin', my love? (My love, my love, my love)

Would you go there for us?

For us

For once, for once, for once

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

Where'd you go? Where you hidin'?

I'ma roll, I'ma roll, I'ma roll

Lemme roll, lemme ride with

**[Chorus]**

We're together now

It's just a stormy cloud

That's nowhere bound (Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

You're ready (No way)

Together now (Oh, tell me what you're going through)

A stormy cloud (Stormy cloud, I can see it's almost over)

We're nowhere bound (Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

And now it's raining

**[Bridge]**

Tryna go there, but you cop out (Yeah, yeah)

You wishy-washy, but I'm no doubt (Yeah, yeah)

I wanna see you in the blue light (Yeah, yeah)

We in the dark, you shining so bright

**[Outro]**

Ba-da, bum, ba-da-ba-dam

Ba-da, ba, ba-da, ba-da

Come bring your love around

Ba-da, bum, ba-da-ba-dam

Ba-da, ba, ba-da, ba-da

Just bring your love around

You run around, I'll go inside

Running around, just come on inside

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go

You hide, but I'll find
