About This Track

'Let's Go' captures the restless energy of youth at a turning point. Khalid sketches a moment of liberation: graduation has arrived, obligations have dissolved, and the only question is where to go next. The song moves between invitation and release, its chorus a simple mantra of forward motion. Sorrow and worry are things to be shed, not carried; the world beyond is framed as possibility rather than threat. The track builds around a central image of aimless travel, a blacked-out car and no fixed destination, the kind of freedom that feels boundless when you're young enough to believe it might last. There's a lightness to the production that matches the lyrical mood, a sense of momentum without weight. Khalid's voice sits easy in the mix, conversational and unhurried, letting the rhythm do most of the work. The song is less about arriving anywhere than about the pure fact of movement itself.

"Let's Go" is a single by Khalid, from the album American Teen, released 3rd March 2017. The track is 3:25 long. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Khalid.

Lyrics

Let's Go

Everybody two-step in the motherfucker, what?
Two-step in the motherfucker, yeah
Everybody two-step in the motherfucker, what?
Two-step in the motherfucker, everybody get up, yeah

Can you feel this energy?
This is the start of something great
We might... be a little late... hey
Hey, but at least we're on our way
You got too much time to waste
Focusing on what people say
They might not like that we've arrived
But we're here to stay

Leave your sorrow on the table
Pick up your worries and throw them out the window
You don't gotta let your friends know
There's so much trouble to get into

Let's go, let go
Let's go, let go

I got a blacked out Chevrolet
You don't have a destination
Traveling where the wind will take us
That might be from place to place
Oh shit, I just graduated
I don't have any obligations
So let's have a little fun
Go 'head and drop all the relations

Leave your sorrow on the table
Pick up your worries and throw them out the window
You don't gotta let your friends know
There's so much trouble to get into

Let go, let go
Let's go, let's go
So let's go, let's go
Let go, let's go
