"Let U Go" is a song by American musician Ashley Parker Angel from his debut studio album Soundtrack to Your Life (2006). It was released to radio as the lead single from the album on February 14, 2006, by Blackground Records and Universal Records. The song was written by Parker, Max Martin, and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, whilst production was helmed by Martin and Dr. Luke. The song peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, in addition to peaking at number 10 on the Pop 100 chart.

Critical reception

Chuck Taylor of Billboard referred to the song as a "wheely-squealing pop/rock headbanger" that "fits well within the 'TRL' template for uptempo pubescent pop."[1]

Music video

This music video takes place in two places. In the beginning it seems Ashley and his band are in a basement. He begins to play the song and the walls begin to shake. After that the walls fall and the band ends up in a club with screaming fans all around. He moves to a secluded area and the music stops. It begins again as a strobe light begins to flash. The song starts to end and the club changes to the front of a theater which says "Ashley Parker Angel, One Night Only". The song ends and Ashley throws his guitar over his shoulder and walks away. It premiered on TRL on March 14, 2006 and went to number one soon after.
