"Let Me Go" is a Mick Jagger and Keith Richards song from Emotional Rescue, the Rolling Stones' fifteenth studio album, released on June 23, 1980, through Rolling Stones Records. The Glimmer Twins produced it, with Chris Kimsey engineering and serving as associate producer.

The album picked up where Some Girls left off in 1978, stirring rock, blues, punk and disco into the same pot, and it went to number one in at least six countries. The sessions were productive enough that several songs left on the shelf ended up forming the core of the next record, Tattoo You, in 1981.
