About the Song
A standout Japanese original track from the 2018 album FACE YOURSELF, 《Let Go》 serves as a masterclass in emotional storytelling by the global icons BTS. Produced under Def Jam Recordings and meticulously composed by Hiro, UTA, and Jun with poignant lyrics by SUNNY BOY, the ballad captures the ephemeral beauty of a final farewell. Instead of dwelling on despair, the track explores the maturity required to release a bond, blending soft synth textures with a vulnerable yet resolute vocal delivery that marks a significant evolution in their Japanese discography through a theme of longing and liberation.

でも心の迷るの中で迷う
ステレオからMonoへ分かれ道はそう
これが散りゆくさだめならば My last letter
言葉、書いては消してろ
君への想いは
元の形に戻れないレベル
I’mma let you go and fly
紛らわすため埋め込んだ Schedule
でも忘れらないよ脳裏に焼き付いてる
Like Tattooあの頃には戻れないね
出来ることなら Call your blame
Ni But 受け止める Your blame
本当に It is time to say Goodbye
さよならの前に Let Go
でも心の迷るの中で迷う
ステレオからMonoへ
分かれ道はそう
今君の手を離せるように
Hard to say Goodbye でも逃げない
遠く離れて誰を想う
君がいない生活はもう、unbelievable
それでもくしかね一んだ
俺が愛し過ぎた人
絡み過ぎて絡みあつた糸
解けなくなつて別の道を歩むそのために
I’ll say Goodbye
始まりはいつの日も
雨の中隠した涙の先に
待ってるやり直そう
今君の手を離せるように
Hard to say Goodbye でも逃げない
二人がいた道の香り
忘れないでいて
今君の手を離せるように
Hard to say Goodbyeでも逃げない
“Let Go” is a lyric about standing at the edge of goodbye, knowing that love once held tightly must finally be released. The words move through hesitation, memory, regret, and acceptance, showing someone trying to loosen the emotional knots left behind by a relationship. Images like a last letter, tangled thread, rain-hidden tears, and a road once shared make the song feel like a quiet farewell rather than a cold ending. Even though saying goodbye is painful, the speaker chooses not to run away from it, turning separation into an act of love, release, and hope for a future meeting with a smile.
