"Let Yourself Go" sits fourth on ¡Uno!, Green Day's ninth studio album, from 2012, and it's the sound of the band putting its foot down. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the lyrics, Rob Cavallo produced, and Reprise sent it out on September 5, 2012 as the album's third and last single, and the third from the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy, a month after fans got a first look through an "official live video" on August 1.
Set against the earlier singles "Oh Love" and "Kill the DJ", it was pegged as more punk than either, and it drew comparisons to '90s records like Dookie and Insomniac. Reviews were warm. In Britain it peaked at No. 2 on the Rock Chart, in America it got as high as 17 on Alternative Songs, and the band tore into it at secret shows and at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.
