    "Go Let It Out" is a song by Rock group Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. It was released in 2000 as the first single from the fourth studio album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The song peaked at number one in the UK charts.

    The lyrics are a typical combination of positive sentiments and nonsense lyrics which Noel Gallagher uses to great effect in a number of Oasis songs. It is in 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. The song contains elements from "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" by Johnny Jenkins.

    The song, along with B-side "(As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes in Hell", also embodies the psychedelic feel which the band experimented with on the album. It couples this with an acoustic guitar chord sequence. "Let's All Make Believe", the second B-Side is considered by many to be one of the best B-sides from this era. Some people believe the lyrics of this song to relate to the cracks that began forming in the group at the time (see below), the lyric: "Lets all make believe/were still friends and we like each other."

    Due to the departure of guitarist Bonehead and bassist Guigsy in the early recording sessions for Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, the track features only Liam Gallagher (vocals), Noel Gallagher (rhythm guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar) and Alan White (drums).
