The production started when
Grabbitz made a vocal bootleg version of the
While(1<2) track "Silent Picture" almost two weeks after its original release.
Zimmerman was impressed with the vocal edit, claiming on
Twitter that he wanted to finish it (similar to how he found Chris James' vocals for "
The Veldt"). Zimmerman then produced a demo of "Let Go" titled "aaddsfffsfsf" in 2015, and uploaded it to his website. However, Zimmerman later cancelled development of "aaddsfffsfsf" and its melody was later turned into a royalty free
MIDI file after being put in his Chimaera pack sold by
Splice in April 2016. It was renamed to "Fanaus" for release as a MIDI file in the pack. However, the project was revised over time and a new demo was uploaded to Zimmerman's
SoundCloud account (prior to it being compromised) titled "Blood for the Bloodgoat". The track was originally unreleased until a fan suggested for him to release the track on his then-upcoming album,
W:/2016Album/. For the album's release, the track was given a shorter - 6 minute edit, renamed to its final title and released in late 2016 as an album pre-order single. In 2017, Grabbitz released an edit of "Let Go" on mau5trap's 2017
compilation album We Are Friends, Vol. 7. This version is based on the original "Silent Picture" demo. ==Music video==
