"Let Go" is a song by German DJ Paul van Dyk, featuring vocals from Irish singer Rea Garvey, member of the rock band Reamonn.[1] It was released in November 2007 as second single from van Dyk's studio album In Between (2007), through MFS and Vandit Records.

Background

The song was partially inspired by Paul van Dyk's experiences traveling around the world and performing in front of audiences from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The track aimed to create something that spoke to the universal human desire for freedom and liberation. According to the DJ, Garvey's voice was the perfect medium to convey this message.[2]

The track incorporates elements of classical music with its soaring strings and dramatic piano thumps, as well as more modern electronic sounds such as a pulsating bassline and a driving beat.[2]
