"Let it Go" is a 1981 song by English rock band Def Leppard from their multi-platinum album High 'n' Dry. It was one of two singles from the album, and reached number 34 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. It was originally titled "When the Rain Falls" with different lyrics as played at New Theatre in Oxford in 1980.
The 7" single runs about 30 seconds shorter than the album version; no lyrics are removed, but the opening guitar intro and the other guitar solos are shortened slightly.
"Let It Go" is the second most-played song from High 'n' Dry after "Bringin' On the Heartbreak". The song was played consistently on the tours supporting its parent album, Pyromania and Hysteria, but was then discarded completely until 1999. However, since then "Let It Go" has been quite frequently reintroduced into setlists.
