"Let Me Let Go" is a song written by Steve Diamond and Dennis Morgan, and recorded by American country music artist Faith Hill. It was released in September 1998 as the third single from the album Faith. The song features background vocals by country artist Vince Gill.
"Let Me Let Go" was also remixed into a pop version and used as the soundtrack for the movie Message in a Bottle. The remix was also added to the international album Love Will Always Win and the compilation album There You'll Be. The song was nominated for a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance; Hill performed the remix version of the song at the 2000 Grammy Awards ceremony. The footage of the performance was released on a Grammy-themed DVD later that year.
In 2000, saxophonist Michael Lington covered the song from his album, Vivid.
The song received a positive review in Billboard, which called it "a well-written song about moving on after a failed relationship" and said that it was more pop-influenced than her previous work.
