Album: Bloom (2017)

Songfacts®:

  • The song's lyrics center around a failed relationship that MGK is struggling to let go of. He tweeted: "I remember when I wrote this it was just me, a guitar, and a bad breakup."

    "I wrote "let you go" on my black Martin acoustic last year in my bed. That's also me playing guitar on the record."
  • The video's concept is a throwback to the 1960s when variety shows ruled the airwaves and guests donned formal attire. We see MGK and his band perform in matching suit jackets.
