However, the song defeats the purpose of making Elsa an antagonist since she never committed any evil beforehand. If one listens very closely, one can hear subtle clues in the song's lyrics that potentially hint at Elsa heel-turning (such as 'No right or wrong/no rules for me!/I'm free!'), and was originally going to be sung in a mocking tone which becomes more demented as the song progresses to enforce this.

As mentioned above several times, since Elsa was originally going to be an antagonist, 'Let It Go' was originally intended to be a villain song.

A line from 'Let It Go' was originally written, 'Couldn't keep it in, God knows I tried,' but was ultimately changed to 'Heaven knows I tried.' In an interview, the songwriters stated that the switch was done not because they were not allowed to acknowledge religion (a Church and Christian iconography are clearly present in the film), but because they were afraid that some people would see it as taking the Lord's name in vain, which is a sin in the Abrahamic traditions as using the Lord's name in vain violates one of the well-known Ten Commandments.

Also, the singing voice of Elsa in Korea (Hye-Na Park) plays the role of Elphaba in the Korean production.

Idina Menzel (the voice of Elsa) played Elphaba in the original Broadway cast of Wicked while Willemijn Verkaik (the Dutch and German singer of 'Let It Go') played the role in the German, Dutch, and British production.

Some fans make a joke that her hair going through her arm is magic.

One can hardly see it because the camera angle hides the 'trick' in the half-a-second moment it happens, and the viewers' attention is drawn to other places. The animators had to phase Elsa's braid through her left arm to keep the animation model from breaking.

The shot where Elsa first releases her hair down creating the braid was nearly impossible to do.

The previous song was ' You'll Be in My Heart' from Tarzan.

The song was the first from a Walt Disney Animation Studios-produced film in 14 years to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

It also won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, where the film version of the song was performed by Menzel.

'Let It Go' earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song.

The lyrics 'Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know,' were a phrase Elsa's father told her when she was given her gloves for safety as a child, but Elsa soon puts the phrase behind her by saying, 'Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know, well now they know!' and finally 'letting go' of her icy powers as she reaches the chorus 'Let it go!'

Initially, Elsa is still distraught, but she realizes that she no longer needs to hide her powerful abilities anymore and declares herself free from the stress and fears that she has been faced with since childhood. The song appears after an ostracized Elsa flees the kingdom of Arendelle soon after her ice powers are discovered by the public. It features a strong emphasis on wind instruments as well as stringed instruments. The song is set to A-flat major, so there are four flats, B, E, A and D.
