La canción Let It Go, escrita e interpretada por James Bay, aborda temas de ruptura de relaciones y auto-reflexión. Bay explicó en varias entrevistas que la canción fue inspirada por una experiencia personal con una relación que no estaba funcionando, a pesar de los esfuerzos de ambas partes por hacerlo funcionar. La canción apela a la idea de la liberación emocional y la importancia de seguir adelante para ambas partes involucradas.
