Demi Lovato – Let It Go Lyrics

“Let It Go” is featured on the soundtrack for the Disney film, Frozen a movie based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Snow Queen. The pop version plays over the closing credit sequence, with Demi Lovato singing, whereas the film version is sung by Wicked’s Idina Menzel.

The choice of Lovato to record the single version was inspired by Demi’s own life journey, Kristen Anderson-Lopez shared:

It just so happened that Demi was part of the Disney family already, and that [they] had a past that [they’re] pretty open about that is similar to Elsa’s journey of letting a dark past and fear behind and moving forward with your power.

Let It Go Lyrics

[Intro]
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

[Verse 1]
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, Heaven knows I tried

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know

[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

[Verse 2]
It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air
I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind
But I’m too relieved to grieve

[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

[Bridge]
Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen
You won’t find me, the past is so behind me
Buried in the snow

[Chorus]
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand, and here I’ll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

[Outro]
(Na na, na na) Yeah
(Na na na na na) Let it go
(Na na, na na) Yeah
(Na na na na na) Na na
(Na na, na na) Let it go
(Na na na na na) Let it go
(Na na) Let it go
(Na na) Ooh
(Na na na na na) Let it go
