Let It Go comes from Disney's 2013 animated film Frozen, where Elsa, voiced and sung by Idina Menzel, performs it after leaving Arendelle and creating her ice palace. Written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became a global pop culture phenomenon. Its chorus spread through countless covers, parodies, sing-alongs, and memes online, turning the phrase into shorthand for releasing stress or walking away. The short clip remains popular because the hook is instantly recognisable to audiences of all ages.
