In Kesha's "Learn to Let Go" — the third single off of her highly anticipated third studio album, Rainbow — the talented singer-songwriter dives deep into her past with footage of home movies from her childhood. Like on "Praying" [1] and "Woman," [2] she gets deeply personal about her legal troubles with producer Dr. Luke [3], with lyrics like "I'm always telling everybody you don't gotta be the victim" and "the past can't hurt me if I don't let it."

Just as she did for her previous two singles, Kesha released an essay to accompany the song (this time with HuffPost [4]), where she explained what went into writing it. "It's about embracing your past, but not letting it define you," she wrote. "It's this idea of reconnecting to my child-like self because that's when you are so full of wonder and joy. You can choose to learn from the bullsh*t along the way but not dwell on it and and instead connect with that joyful childhood innocence."
