Let's Go Bang is the second studio album by American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Contents

It was released by Atlantic Records on September 12, 1995. It is also the first Hewitt album distributed by Atlantic. The producer, Angelo Montrone, had noticed her musical talents and brought her to the attention of then CEO of Atlantic Records, Doug Morris who then signed her.[ citation needed ] The album was received with enthusiasm by several program directors at pop radio, however, with the departure of Doug Morris from Atlantic in 1995 the plans for promotion were canceled which led to the album's commercial failure, failing to chart on the US Billboard 200.

The album features contributions from Pino Palladino, Steve Ferrone, John Robinson, and Harvey Mason.

One of the album's tracks, "Free to Be a Woman", written by Hewitt and Angelo Montrone, would go on to become the theme song for the series The Modern Girl, that aired on the Style Network.

Album title

For many years, audiences interpreted the meaning of going to "bang" as a sexual innuendo. In a 2005 interview with Maxim , Hewitt was asked to elaborate on the meaning of the song: "It was supposed to be this dance called the 'Bang', and the song never hit so we never came up with the dance. Everybody just thought I was a really dirty 16-year-old." [2]
