A noisy and fast-paced song, it is somewhat similar to "[[You Know What You Are?]]" from ''[[With Teeth(halo)|With Teeth]]'' and "[[March Of The Pigs (song)|March Of The Pigs]]" from ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'', but is also similar to "[[Hyperpower!]]" from ''[[Year Zero]]''.  The artwork is a vertically orientated 'oriented [[Art Is Resistance]]emblem that can also be seen as the letters L and Y, with a red line originating from where the star would be. The song can be interpreted as a protest song, similar to "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]," from ''With Teeth.'' The artwork and subject matter of the lyrics may suggest a connection to ' emblem'Year Zero''. The artwork for the sticker from the CD/DVD release is the same, but with the red line omitted.  [[Multitracks]] for this song (and all others from ''The Slip'') were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV format] via [[remix.nin.com]].

===Letting You===
This is the original album version. Fast-paced and featuring blistering guitar, the odd drum rhythm loops throughout the track, sometimes complicated further with extra bass drum hits. Bass enters in short bursts through the choruses. Vocals throughout the song are shouted rhythmically. Various ambient synthesizers fill the background throughout, layering through its instrumental coda along with a stabbing synthesizer that increases in volume until it overcomes the rest of the mix and cuts off suddenly. ===Letting You (Live At Rehearsals)===This version of the song was released online via [[nin.com]] and PitchforkTV. It was filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in mid 2008 and directed by [[Rob Sheridan]]. It also features on the physical release of ''The Slip,'' on an accompanying DVD of rehearsal footage.
==Live==
This song has not been made its live debut on [[2008/07/19 Los Angeles, CA|July 19, 2008]] and was played very frequently on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]], with a few slight lyrical alterations. The third line is sung liveas "One hand behind your heart", and the last line of the chorus is changed to "Get away, get away" instead of "Get away with it."
On the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]], "Letting You" was played on the Australian dates, but only rarely afterwards. One performance, from Brisbane on [[2009/02/21 Brisbane, Australia|February 21]], was filmed by [[Rob Sheridan]] and posted on the official NIN YouTube channel.
