"Let It Go"
Song

"Let It Go" is a song from Disney's 2013 animated feature film, Frozen, with music and lyrics composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. The song was performed in the film by American actress and singer Idina Menzel in her role as Queen Elsa, after an ostracized Elsa abandons her kingdom when her magical ability to create and control ice is discovered by the public. Up in the mountains, away from confused and suspicious onlookers, she realizes that she no longer needs to hide her abilities, and declares herself free from the restrictions she has had to endure since childhood. She rejoices in finally being able to use her powers without fear, manipulating snow and ice to generate a magnificent castle for herself.

"Let It Go" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, where the song was performed live by Menzel.[2][3] It is the first song from a Disney animated musical to reach the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 since 1995, when Vanessa L. Williams' "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas peaked at number four on the chart. The song is also Menzel's first single to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the first Tony Award winner for acting to ever reach the top 10.[4] On December 6, 2013 Walt Disney Animation Studios released a video of the entire "Let It Go" sequence as seen in the movie, which has over 200 million views as of April 25, 2014.[5]

Composition

Elsa unleashes her powers during her song "Let It Go".

"Let It Go" was the first song that Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez wrote for the film that actually made it in, since there were earlier-composed songs that were eventually cut.[6] The story outline they were given had a spot reserved for "Elsa's Badass Song", which was what they were trying to write.[7] The duo took inspiration from other Disney films such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast and various artists including Adele, Aimee Mann, Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, and Carole King.[8] The song finally began to gel one day as the couple walked together from their home in Park Slope to nearby Prospect Park while they were "thinking from an emo kind of place."[9] Anderson-Lopez explained what happened next: "We went for a walk in Prospect Park and threw phrases at each other. What does it feel like to be the perfect exalted person, but only because you've held back this secret? Bobby came up with 'kingdom of isolation,' and it worked."[10] Lopez was able to improvise the song's first four lines on the spot.[11] Back at their home studio, they composed the rest of the song by alternating between improvising melodies on a piano and brainstorming lyrics on a whiteboard, and finished it within a single day.[6][10]

The Daily Telegraph felt that rather than the villain originally envisioned by the producers, the songwriters saw Elsa as "a scared girl struggling to control and come to terms with her gift."[12] When interviewed in January 2014 by John August and Aline Brosh McKenna, Frozen co-director Jennifer Lee gave her recollection of the song's conception: "Bobby and Kristen said they were walking in Prospect Park and they just started talking about what would it feel like [to be Elsa]. Forget villain. Just what it would feel like. And this concept of letting out who she is, that she's kept to herself for so long, and she's alone and free, but then the sadness of the fact that the last moment is she's alone. It's not a perfect thing, but it's powerful."[13]

Although unintentional, the song's composition was pivotal in the film's characterization of Elsa.[14] Although Elsa was originally written as a villain, co-directors Chris Buck and Lee gradually rewrote Elsa into one of the film's protagonists after "Let It Go" was composed.[15][16] About that, Lee later explained, "the minute we heard the song the first time, I knew that I had to rewrite the whole movie."[9] Buck further clarified: "Jen had to go back and rewrite some pages in the first act to build up to that scene..... You have to set it up well enough in advance so that when the song comes, the audience is ready for it and there’s an emotional payoff."[17]

When it came to animating Elsa's scenes for the song, Lopez and Anderson-Lopez insisted on the particular detail that Elsa should slam the palace doors on the audience at the song's end, which they acknowledged was similar to the ending of the Broadway musical Sweeney Todd. Lopez explained that they wanted that feeling of how "this character doesn't need us anymore," because he had always loved that feeling "when a character just kind of malevolently looks at you and slams a door in your face," although in the final version, Elsa's facial expression ended up as more of a "sly smile".[18] "Let It Go" is a power ballad in the key of A-flat major overall, but begins in the relative minor (F minor). The song is in quadruple meter, and has a fast tempo of around 137 beats per minute. The song's vocal range spans from F3 to E♭5.[19] Anderson-Lopez and Lopez specifically wrote the song for Idina Menzel, referring to her as "one of the most glorious voices of Broadway and an icon in musical theater." Menzel's vocal range was taken under consideration during the music's composition.[20]

For each song they created, including "Let It Go," Anderson-Lopez and Lopez recorded a demo in their home studio, then emailed it to the Disney Animation production team in Burbank for discussion at their next videoconference.[21] Anderson-Lopez later disclosed that Disney Animation's Chief Creative Officer, John Lasseter, was so taken with "Let It Go" that he played her original demo of the song in his car for months.[22] Once approved, the song's piano-vocal score, along with the rest of their work for Frozen, was eventually forwarded to arranger Dave Metzger at his home studio in Salem, Oregon, who orchestrated their work into a lush sound suitable for recording by a full orchestra in Los Angeles.[23]

Critical reception

"Let It Go" received widespread acclaim from film critics, music critics, and audiences, with some comparing it favorably to "Defying Gravity" (also performed by Menzel) from the Broadway musical Wicked.[16][24][25] The Rochester City Newspaper called it the best song of the film's soundtrack, writing; "Performed with belty gusto by Idina Menzel, it's got every element needed to be a lasting favorite...Menzel should be credited for providing as much power and passion to this performance as she did in her most famous role."[24] Entertainment Weekly's Marc Snetiker described the song as "an incredible anthem of liberation"[25] while Joe Dziemianowicz of The New York Daily News called it "a stirring tribute to girl power and the need to 'let go' of fear and shame".[26]

On the other hand, Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot of the radio show Sound Opinions criticized the song; DeRogatis labeled it "schlock", and Kot described it as a "clichéd piece of fluff that you would have heard on a Broadway soundtrack from maybe the fifties or the sixties".[27] "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel is now the biggest-selling foreign song from any original soundtrack in South Korea.[28]

Demi Lovato version

"Let It Go"
Song

The decision to release a single for "Let It Go" was made after the song was written and was presented to Disney. Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez selected American singer and former Disney Channel star Demi Lovato, who also appears on Disney's Hollywood Records roster, to cover the song on the soundtrack album.

Background and release

Anderson-Lopez said that Lovato was chosen because of the singer's own personal life; "She had a past that she's pretty open about that is similar to Elsa's journey of letting a dark past and fear behind and moving forward with your power."[20] Lovato indeed identified herself with the song's context, stating "It's so relatable. Elsa is finding her identity; she's growing into who she is and she's finally accepting her own strength and magical powers. Instead of hiding it, like she's done all her life, she's letting it go and embracing it."[58]

Lovato's cover version was released as a single by Walt Disney Records on October 21, 2013.[59]

Music video

The music video was released on November 1, 2013.[60] and was directed by Declan Whitebloom.[61] As of April 25, 2014 it has over 140 million views.[60]

Other languages

Besides the original English version, Disney Character Voices International arranged for Frozen to be dubbed into another 42 languages and dialects worldwide,[84] with 41 foreign-language versions of "Let It Go".[85][86][87] A major challenge was to find sopranos capable of matching Menzel's warm vocal tone and three-octave vocal range in their native languages.[85][86] Rick Dempsey, senior executive at Disney Character Voices International regarded the process as "exceptionally challenging", explaining, "It's a difficult juggling act to get the right intent of the lyrics and also have it match rhythmically to the music. And then you have to go back and adjust for lip sync! [It]… requires a lot of patience and precision."[88]

On January 22, 2014, Disney released a multi-language version of the "Let It Go" musical sequence, which featured vocal performances of 25 different voice actresses who portrayed Elsa in their respective dubbing versions of the film.[89][90][91] At the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Walt Disney Company on March 18, 2014 in Portland, Oregon, chairman and chief executive officer Bob Iger praised the team who did "an incredible job casting fantastic international talent so that Frozen truly belongs to the world," then showed the entire multi-language video clip of "Let It Go" to the assembled shareholders.[92] Later, on March 31, 2014, an in-studio multi-language video of the song was released, showing singers of 25 different languages recording their versions of "Let It Go".[88][93]

On April 15, 2014, Walt Disney Records released a compilation album titled "Let It Go: The Complete Set", with all 41 foreign-language film versions of "Let It Go" and nine end credit versions.[94][95][96]

In South Korea, the pop version of the song by Hyolyn reached number six on the Gaon Music Chart in February, followed by the film version performed by Park Hyena charting at number 80 in March.[97][98] The Japanese versions of the song, performed in the film by Takako Matsu and in the end roll by May J., reached number 2 and 8 respectively on the Japan Hot 100 after the film's Japanese release in March 2014.[99]

Cover versions

Numerous cover versions have been recorded internationally.[126]

In February 2014, Alex Boyé recorded a light Africanized tribal cover of the song, featuring the One Voice Children's Choir and Lexi Walker as Elsa.[127][128][129][130] The Piano Guys' cover version mixes parts of Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, "L'inverno" (Winter) from The Four Seasons into the original.[130][131][132] Both are set in the ice castles in Midway, Utah.

In March 2014, Brian Hull recorded a cover of the song while impersonating the voices of 21 different Disney and Pixar characters such as Hector Barbossa, Jack Sparrow, Dug, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy.[133][134][135]
