"Letter to You" was the first taste of heartland rockers Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2020 album of the same name, sent out on September 10, 2020, as the record's lead-in. Springsteen wrote it alone, words and music.

Critics were warm. Rolling Stone's Kory Grow placed it in a long line of Springsteen songs built on his trademark earnestness and urgency, and noticed that he sings about searching his inner self while giving away very little, yet the song still feels whole because of how much he and his bandmates trust one another as players. GQ's Dylan Jones heard it as epic and used it to look back over a career that has paired strong storytelling with shifts in genre.
