A music video was released for the pop version.

The music presents the ostracized Queen Elsa, who abandons her kingdom when her magical ability to make and control ice and snow is discovered by the public. Up in the mountains, Elsa realizes that she no longer needs to hide her abilities, and so declares herself free from the restrictions she has had to endure since childhood. She rejoices in being able to use her power without fear or limit, to let her past go, and manipulate snow to create a living snowman and a magnificent ice castle for herself. The song also includes discarding items, most notably her glove which her parents gave her to hold back her powers, and taking her tiara off her head and throwing it over her shoulder, afterwards unraveling her braided hairstyle.

The music gained international recognition, becoming one of the most globally recorded Disney musics, with numerous covers being recorded in different languages.

According to the IFPI, "Let It Go" sold 10.9 million copies in 2014, becoming the year's 5-th best-selling single.
