Composition

The instrumental of the song features "chopped-up" choirs [1] and heavy bassline, [2] while the lyrics are about earning money by any means. [3]

Critical reception

Tallie Spencer of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, writing "what sets 'Let's Go' apart is his ability to balance street narratives with catchy hooks, creating a track that resonates with a broad audience." In addition, she stated the production "serves as a perfect backdrop for Key Glock's assertive flow." [2]

Music video

An official music video was directed by Chris Villa. A teaser trailer for the clip was released on January 10, 2024, [4] before the visual was released on January 16, 2024. The video co-stars actress Alix Lapri and sees Key Glock executing daring, violent heists alongside her. [2] [3] [5] [6] It incorporates scenes of " John Wick -style gun fu", which Key Glock learned from a stunt coordinator for the film, [5] [6] [7] as well as flashy cars and lavish settings. [2] After winning a game of poker with a straight flush, Glock engages in a fistfight in the back of a kitchen. [7] He and Lapri kill the security through martial arts. [3] As the building blows up behind them, the duo begins their crime spree across Miami, [6] [7] which involves them disguising their identities, [6] robbing a convenience store [5] [6] and bank, stealing a car, [7] a highway police chase [2] [3] [7] and resulting shootout. [3] When the police close in on them, Key Glock carries out an unexpected escape plan. [5]
