A week before Take That was due to perform at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony, Gary and his family announced the loss of his daughter Poppy, who was stillborn. “Let Me Go” is written from her perspective. In When Corden Met Barlow, Gary said:

It’s funny with “Let Me Go” because I didn’t want to have a sad album, I really didn’t, and I tried for it to not be, I made a real effort for it to not be a sad record. I wanted it to be a celebrationary record because that’s where we’re at in our lives with the whole thing that happened, and it makes me really happy when I see people going crazy to that song, because it really should be a celebration, because in some respects it’s alive, that record and those lyrics and what it relates to, and it keeps a life and a flame in the whole thing, and I love that it has got two elements to it. I love that on one hand you think ‘this is the most fun ever I’ve had to this record’ and then when you start going beneath that, you see what it’s saying — it’s not my voice, it’s someone else’s.

It was released as a single on November 15, 2013, and peaked at number 2 in the UK Singles Chart.
