"Letting You" is the third track on the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip. A noisy and fast-paced song, it is somewhat similar to "You Know What You Are?" from With Teeth and "March Of The Pigs" from The Downward Spiral, but is also similar to "HYPERPOWER!" from Year Zero.
Fast-paced and featuring blistering guitar, the odd drum rhythm loops throughout the track, sometimes complicated further with extra bass drum hits. Bass enters in short bursts through the choruses. Vocals throughout the song are shouted rhythmically. Various ambient synthesizers fill the background throughout, layering through its instrumental coda along with a stabbing synthesizer that increases in volume until it overcomes the rest of the mix and cuts off suddenly.
The artwork is a vertically oriented Art Is Resistance emblem that can also be seen as the letters L and Y, with a red line originating from where the star would be. The song can be interpreted as a protest song, similar to "The Hand That Feeds," from With Teeth. The artwork and subject matter of the lyrics may suggest a connection to Year Zero. The artwork for the sticker from the CD/DVD release is the same, but with the red line omitted.
