It was released on February 7th 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at #1 in the UK charts, another number one for writer Noel Gallagher.
The Go Let it Out lyrics are a similar vein to "Roll With It" in that it encourages the listener to get on with their life without being specific about how this is to be achieved. In other words, a typical meaningless Oasis lyric.
The song samples the drums from Johnny Jenkins' version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters". The title may be a reference to the line in "Hey Jude" by The Beatles, "So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin"
The b-side "Let's All Make Believe" has recently been included in several lists as a 'hidden gem', such as Q magazine placing it at number one on its list of '500 best lost tracks' and at 4 on its 'list of songs to download this month - January 2006.' Q magazine said in the description 'If Standing on the Shoulder of Giants had contained this track, it would have probably got another star'. Such is the history of Oasis, that some of their best songs are B Sides - e.g. The Masterplan and Acquice.
This was the first Oasis product to be released via their new Big Brother record label. The catalogue numbers across all formats include RKID 001. Due to new regulations concerning the length of singles in the UK, this was the first Oasis single to only include 2 b-sides.

Here's the lyrics to Go Let It Out:
Paint no illusion, Try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion cos if you like yerself a lot
Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
Life is Precocious in a most peculiar way
Sister Psychosis don't got a lot to say
She Go let it out, She Go let it in, She Go let it out
She Go let it out, She Go let it in, She Go let it out
Is it any wonder why princes & kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
And ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny
I'm going leaving this city, I'm goin drivin' outta town
You're comin' with me the right town
To Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
To Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
Is it any wonder why princes & kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Cos ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
So Go let it out - Go Let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - Go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it - don't let it in
Paint no illusion, Try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion cos if you like yerself a lot
Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
Life is Precocious in a most peculiar way
Sister Psychosis don't got a lot to say
She Go let it out, She Go let it in, She Go let it out
She Go let it out, She Go let it in, She Go let it out
Is it any wonder why princes & kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
And ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny
I'm going leaving this city, I'm goin drivin' outta town
You're comin' with me the right town
To Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
To Go let it out, Go let it in, Go let it out
Is it any wonder why princes & kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Cos ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
So Go let it out - Go Let it in
Go let it out - don't let it in
Go let it out - Go let it in
Go let it out - don't let it - don't let it in
