"Let Your Head Go" is a song recorded by English singer Victoria Beckham, intended for her unreleased second studio album. It was released as a double A-side with "This Groove" on 29 December 2003 by Telstar Records. In 2004, it was included on the video album The 'Réal' Beckhams, after her record company went bankrupt before it surfaced.

"Let Your Head Go" entered the UK Singles Chart at number three, the highest new entry for the week, and also tied with Emma Bunton's "Downtown" as the highest chart position for a solo Spice Girl since Geri Halliwell's "It's Raining Men" topped the chart in 2001. It became the 88th best selling UK single of 2004. However even with this Victoria still found herself being axed by her record label.

In 2002, Beckham signed a contract with Telstar Records and 19 Management worth £1.5 million. Beckham then began recording a pop-influenced album, Open Your Eyes, which yielded the single "Let Your Head Go", but she allegedly chose not to release it after being disappointed with the results. Instead of pop, Beckham wanted a more urban sound and worked with urban producer Damon Dash to work on the R&B and hip hop influenced album Come Together. A Dash-produced track "It's That Simple" featuring M.O.P. premiered on radio stations in July 2003, generating mixed reviews. Beckham's first single with Telstar, "Let Your Head Go"/"This Groove", was released in the UK on 29 December 2003, following heavy promotion and many TV appearances across the Christmas period. This double A-side lifted "Let Your Head Go" from Beckham's earlier pop-inspired work with "This Groove" one of her hip hop and R&B songs and remains Beckham's last single release to date. Outside of the UK, Damon Dash had plans for Beckham in the US, including a potential release of "Let Your Head Go / This Groove" under the name of "Posh Spice Victoria Beckham". The release was proposed for sometime between March to May 2004, but never eventuated.
