"Let Me Go" is a song by American singer Hailee Steinfeld and Swedish DJ and record producer Alesso, featuring American country music duo Florida Georgia Line and American singer-songwriter Andrew Watt. It was written by Ali Tamposi, Brian Lee, Jamie Lidell, Alesso and Watt, with production handled by the latter two. The song was released through Republic Records on September 8, 2017.

Background

On September 5, 2017, Republic Records confirmed the forthcoming collaboration, and revealed its release and radio airplay date.[2] On September 7, 2017, Steinfeld posted teasers on social media, officially announcing the song's release date.[3]

Critical reception

David Rishty of Billboard called the song an "eye-popping collaboration", and felt it "has all the right ingredients for its lyrics to quickly get stuck in your head".[4] Kat Bein of the same publication deemed it "a radio-ready pop ballad",[5] "a feel-good breakup song with pop and country crossover". He opined that it "drips with tropical coconut notes with central vocals from Steinfeld and a strong backup from Florida Georgia Line", and sounds similar to Kygo's 2016 song "Carry Me".[6] Brittany Provost of EDMTunes called it "a surprisingly very catchy and upbeat track".[3] Kelly Brickey of Sounds Like Nashville felt it "bops like the next big club hit with FGL and Steinfeld trading off verses for an up-tempo love song".[7]
