In the verses and pre-choruses, Kelela questions the whereabouts and motivations of her partner, expressing a desire for them to open up and be honest. The repetition of "where'd you go? where you hidin'?" suggests a search for emotional transparency and a deep desire to understand the other person's perspective.
The chorus suggests that although there may be challenges and conflicts in the relationship ("stormy clouds"), Kelela and her partner are committed to each other and ready to face these obstacles together. The phrase "we're together now, it's just a stormy cloud that's nowhere bound" serves as a metaphor for the temporary nature of the difficulties they're experiencing.

The outro reinforces the idea of letting go and finding resolution. The repetition of "let it go" serves as a reminder to release attachment to the past or the need to control the future. Despite the partner's inclination to hide, Kelela expresses determination in finding them and discovering the truth.
Overall, "Let It Go" delves into the complexities of relationships, highlighting the importance of communication, acceptance, and vulnerability. It encourages embracing the present moment, letting go of uncertainties, and striving for emotional connection.
