"Let Her Go" was released in July 2012 as the second single from Passenger's third album All the Little Lights . The song became a hit first in the Netherlands after Dave, a Dutch fan, e-mailed Passenger expressing his wish to introduce the song to some Dutch radio stations, claiming it could be a hit there. [5] This resulted in the song trending on Dutch stations and finding enormous commercial success with the Dutch public. The song reached number two in the Dutch Top 40 in November 2012, spending a total of four non-consecutive weeks at that position. The next month that year, it topped at number one. [6]

The song has sold over 1 million digital copies in the UK, [1] and over 4 million in the US as of July 2014. [2] In October 2019, "Let Her Go" surpassed one billion streams on the music service Spotify, making it one of the most played songs on the service. [28]

No one gave a shit. It's funny, we were kind of working on the next record, I'm thinking "okay cool, no problem". And this guy called Dave from Holland gave us an e-mail and he said: Look, I've heard this song "Let Her Go" and I want to take it to radio here because I think here in the Netherlands it could really work and could do something. So we're like "okay mate, cool, do your thing, knock yourself out". Within two weeks, I think it got to number one and that's kind of what started this whole crazy fucking thing. Firstly, I'd like to thank Dave because without Dave I don't think I'd be here at all. And secondly, I want to thank you guys just for supporting me and my music before anybody else did really. So a massive, massive thank you. "Let Her Go" is your song, thank you very very much". [from 27:50 to 28:50 on the tape]
