The song Letting Go was written by Paul McCartney for the Wings album Venus and Mars. The song was released as a single in October of 1975. It was not hugely successful as a single. It only reached #41 on the UK charts and #39 on the US charts. Paul McCartney and Wings performed Letting Go and the B-side You gave me the Answer on their Wings Over America tour. Both songs also appear in the concert film Rockshow.
You Gave Me the Answer was one of Paul's "music hall numbers". He often introduced this song as a tribute to Fred Astaire.
