Let U Down

A. G. Cook

**Let U Down** is an unreleased song by Charli XCX featuring rapper Lil Peep. The song was recorded in late 2017, making it a *Pop 2* outtake. It was produced by A. G. Cook.

## Background

The song was recorded in September 2017, being one of the first songs recorded for Pop 2.

On November, after Lil Peep's death, Charli revealed in a concert on Florida, that she decided to scrap the song for respect to him.

On December 15th, after the release of Pop 2, Charli talked to Fader about the song and Lil Peep, saying: *"We had a song that we did with Lil Peep that was going to be on this mixtape. And then now, it isn’t. I think it’s the right decision. I never met Lil Peep, but I was massively inspired by him."*

On January 2019, the song leaked by the label Tangerine Recordings (studio where they recorded the song, on Minnesota) on their listening page, presumably as a mistake. The song was discovered by fans on February 14th, 2020.

## Lyrics

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]

White pills, empty hotel

Teardrop, standstill

Phone calls, kiss through windows

Whisper, "I'm true, burn through"

Your palms open up

White pills, white raindrops

Don't choke, I'm here standing still

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

'Cause I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I won't let you down

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

No, I won't let you down

[Verse 2: Lil Peep]

White pills, empty hotel

Good girl, don't tell

I feel like I've been here before

No one to say they hate me, no one at all

She says she couldn't save me

Said she'll never call

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

'Cause I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I won't let you down

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

No, I won't let you down

[Bridge: Lil Peep]

I know, it's so easy to blame me, the blame I take it all

(The blame I take it all)

White pills, empty hotels

I'm not staying strong (I'm not staying strong)

Give it up for you (Give it up for you)

Give it up for me (Give it up for me)

I promise, I'll be fine, but tonight I'm taking three

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

'Cause I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I won't let you down

I won't let you down

No, I won't let you down

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

I promise, I promise, I promise

No, I won't let you down
