Young Jonn renders new single 'Let It go'

Nigerian singer-songwriter and record producer Young Jonn has released a new single titled Let It Go. The Chocolate City hitmaker built anticipation for the single through a steady teasing campaign on TikTok and Instagram, positioning the track as part of the rollout for his upcoming music tape, scheduled for release on Friday, September 25, 2026.

That same date, September 25, also marks Young Jonn's headline concert at OVO Arena Wembley in the UK, giving the coordinated release an added layer of significance, pairing his musical output with a major live milestone in the same week. The overlap suggests he wants the new project and the arena show to reinforce each other rather than compete for attention.

Let It Go exhibits the rich capabilities that have defined Young Jonn's run as an artist, following an established pattern of hit-making that dates back to earlier singles like Xtra Cool and Dada. Beyond his work as a lead artist, Young Jonn's reputation as a producer runs deep across Nigerian Afrobeats, and pairing that behind-the-scenes pedigree with his solo output has continued to pay dividends.

For an artist who has evolved from hitmaker-producer to headlining act in his own right, this single functions less as a standalone drop and more as the opening note of a bigger moment, bridging his 2025 sophomore album Blue Disco, which debuted at number one on Apple Music Nigeria's albums chart, and whatever comes next in his catalogue.
