Let It Go is the crowning glory of Walt Disney's latest animated feature movie sucess: Frozen. Only one of its many catchy songs some of which includes Love is an Open Door, For the First Time in Forever the music and lyrics were penned by the husband and wife dream team pair Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez which garnered all the Best Original Song Accolades; in the 86th Academy Awards, 71st Golden Globe Awards, 19th Critic's Choice Awards respectively making Robert Lopez the youngest member of the esteemed EGOT bunch and the only one to have done so in only a decade.

Let it Go is also the first song from a Disney animated feature to reach the Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 chart at least since 1995's Colors of the Wind in Pocahontas sung by Vanessa William's.

The song Let It Go had originally been performed by Queen Elsa (voiced by Singer, Tony Nominated Actress Idina Menzel) in a moment of self discovery, at finally finding a place of freedom, of sanctum, where she could be completely herself without any restraints, holding her back.

Demi Lovato "Neon Lights" singer and former Disney star, (who's also on Disney's Hollywood Records roster,) had been handpicked by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez to record a more Pop sounding version for the soundtrack.

Demi Lovato herself said of the Let it Go lyrics, "It's so relatable. Elsa is finding her identity; she's growing into who she is and she's finally accepting her own strength and magical powers. Instead of hiding it, like she's done all her life, she's letting it go and embracing it."

A song of empowerment, and freedom of embracing one's self-just the kind of song to belt to-it has spawned many a Youtube cover. There are some decent ones, an Africanized tribal version, a comedian's imitation of many recognisable voices are one of the many that stick out. The former garnering almost 32 million views on Youtube. There are hundreds upon hundreds of all kinds of covers. People with their many gimmicks; some adorning costumes and lip synching, others reinventing the lyrics-with a song this fun, you can let it go-belt and let your creative, silly side run amok.
