Composition and recording
"Let It Go" was written over the internet by Daniel Lindstrom and Daniele Musto in Stockholm, Sweden and Roxanne Seeman in Santa Monica, California. The lyrics for "Let It Go" were adapted into Cantonese by Hong Kong songwriter Kenny So with the chorus hook line "Let It Go" remaining in English. Thematically, the song offers words of comfort to a brokenhearted lover.[3]
The song is produced by Andrew Tuason. The recording features a gospel choir arranged by and performed with Sylvia St. James, National Director of the House of Blues Gospel Brunch at the time of the recording.[5][6]
