"Let It Be” was released by the Beatles March 1970 as a single and the title track of their album Let It Be. At the time, it had the highest debut on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 6. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band. In 1987, the song was recorded by charity supergroup Ferry Aid (which included McCartney). It reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and reached the top ten in many other European countries.

McCartney said he had the idea of "Let It Be" after he had a dream about his mother during the tense period surrounding the sessions for The Beatles (also know as “the White Album") in 1968. He said: "It was great to visit with her again." (She had died of cancer when he was 14) "I felt very blessed to have that dream. So that got me writing 'Let It Be’. He also said in another interview about the dream that his mother had told him, "It will be all right, just let it be.” According to McCartney, the song's reference to "Mother Mary" was not a biblical reference. (The words "let it be" are a direct quote from the Prayer of the Annunciation, Mary's response to the Angel Gabriel in Luke 1:38.) When asked if the song referred to the Virgin Mary, McCartney has typically answered the question by assuring his fans that they can interpret the song however they would like.

In 2010, Rolling Stone magazine placed "Let It Be" at number 8 on the Beatles' 100 Greatest Songs.Mojo magazine ranked it at number 50 in a similar list, compiled in 2006. AllMusic said it was one of "the Beatles' most popular and finest ballads".

"Let It Be" holds the top spot on "The Fans' Top 10" poll included in The 100 Best Beatles Songs: An Informed Fan's Guide by Stephen J. Spignesi and Michael Lewis. The song is ranked third on the 100 Best Beatles Songs list, behind "A Day in the Life" and "Strawberry Fields Forever".
