Let It Goby Idina Menzel

Song Info:

"Let It Go" by Idina Menzel was released in 2013 as part of the soundtrack for Disney’s Frozen. The song quickly exploded in popularity, reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. With its empowering message and Menzel’s powerhouse vocals, it became an anthem for millions—especially kids—and even won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

The success of Frozen certainly helped, but it’s still striking that such a layered, theatrical composition turned into the defining anthem of a generation. Almost everyone has heard it hundreds of times, yet very few people could sing the entire thing start to finish, thanks to its unusual, non-linear structure.
