“Let it Out” by Hoobastank

"Let It Out" is an album track from The Reason, Hoobastank's second record, released on Island in December 2003. Dan Estrin wrote the music and plays guitar, Doug Robb wrote the words and sings them, and Chris Hesse and Markku Lappalainen hold down drums and bass. It was one of Lappalainen's last recordings with the band, since The Reason was the final album before he left in 2005.

Howard Benson produced, Mike Plotnikoff recorded and mixed, and Casey Stone recorded strings, so there's a little extra sweep under the band's polished crunch. The album around it, for all its mixed reviews, climbed to number three on the Billboard 200.
