About The Song

“Let It Be” is a song by the English rock band The Beatles, released on 6 March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternative mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be. The song was written and sung by Paul McCartney, and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The lyrics of the song are about finding comfort in times of trouble and letting things be. The song has been covered by many artists and has become one of the most popular songs of all time. The song was also used as the title of the Beatles’ final studio album, which was released on 8 May 1970, almost a month after the group’s public break-up, in tandem with the documentary of the same name. The album was produced by Phil Spector and features a mix of original songs and covers.
