You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Let it Go'''" is a 1981 song by English [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Def Leppard]] from their [[platinum album|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 Oxford|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.

''[[Record World]]'' commented on the "twin-guitar barrage, [[Joe Elliott]]'s go-for-broke vocal and the sensory overload of [[Mutt Lange]]'s production."<ref name=rw>((cite magazine|magazine=Record World|date=September 19, 1981|page=54|accessdate=2023-03-01|title=Single Picks|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Record-World/80s/81/RW-1981-09-19.pdf))</ref>

==Music video==
The music video for this song was directed by Doug Smith and shot on 22 July 1981 at the [[Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool|Royal Court Theatre]] in [[Liverpool]], England. The photo on "Let It Go" single cover was taken from that shoot. Other songs filmed that day were "[[High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)]]"  and "[[Bringin' On the Heartbreak]]".

==Live performances==
"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.

== Personnel ==

* [[Joe Elliott]] – lead vocals
* [[Steve Clark]] – lead guitar, backing vocals
* [[Pete Willis]] – rhythm guitar, ride-out solo, backing vocals
* [[Rick Savage]] – bass guitar, backing vocals
