I think with that song, one thing led to another. That's a bit looping and a weird repetitive thing going on, and I had my laptop on a train in France, going to Toulouse. And then the midsection, the jam bit, I was on a train. And then the chorus, I was at a festival in Hungary or Turkey. I remember it came to me, I think I was walking to my hotel room in Oklahoma. I think most of that song was put together at different times, when I was on tour, actually. Parker detailed the song's globetrotting development in an interview with Under the Radar in 2015: But at some point, you realize it takes more energy to shut it out than it does to let it happen and be a part of 'it'." The theme of Currents is personal transition, and "Let It Happen" was sequenced as the album's opening song to exemplify acceptance. "Let It Happen" is about "finding yourself always in this world of chaos and all this stuff going on around you and always shutting it out because you don't want to be part of it. A music video for the song was uploaded on 17 August 2015 to the group's Vevo channel on YouTube. In 2020 it was voted as the best song of the 21st century by the listeners of the Dutch radio station NPO 3FM. "Let It Happen" appeared on many critics' year-end lists of the best songs of 2015. In the United States, the song charted at number 28 on Billboard 's Adult Alternative Songs chart. It peaked at number 29 on the Belgian Flanders singles chart, number 84 on the ARIA Singles Chart and number 152 on the French Singles Chart. The song received acclaim from music critics. It also has vocoded-like vocals in the second half, which were actually manipulated with a keyboard sampler. The song runs at nearly eight minutes long, and its second half contains a section of the song repeating akin to a scratched Compact Disc, and stripped-down lyrics consisting of gibberish. The song centers on accepting personal transition, and was worked on in various locations around the world. It was released as the lead single from their third studio album, Currents (2015), on 10 March 2015. " Let It Happen" is a song by the Australian rock musician Tame Impala.
