"Tonight I'm Gonna Let Go" is a song by American singer Syleena Johnson. It was written by Johnson, Mike Dunn, and James Seals for her second studio album Chapter 2: The Voice (2002), while production was helmed by Dunn. The song was released as the album's lead single in 2002 and became a top 40 hit in United Kingdom.[1] The song song interpolates "Sweet Green Fields" by Seals and Crofts and also interpolates Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See by Busta Rhymes, which samples the Seals and Crofts song. The remix directly samples "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See", where the Seals and Croft sample is already embedded.
