"Let's Go" was featured in the soundtracks of numerous films or TV shows, such as Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, Pitch Perfect 2, Vacation, Sisters, Red Band Society, Hawaii Five-0 or the teaser trailer for the 2018 animated film Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.[citation needed]
Background and release
Tiësto declared about the song : "It's a very energetic track with so much energy in it. When I hear that track [...], the only thing I want is to go out !"[2]
Reception
Nolan Freeney of Time considers that "Tiësto’s production doesn’t grind quite as hard as the singers’ past hits, and the added acoustic guitars feel like a blatant effort to capitalize on the success of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up!” but all of that is forgivable: the track’s highs are euphoric enough to get the job done."[3]
