"Let It Loose" is a song released on The Rolling Stones' 1972 album "Exile on Main St." Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Let It Loose" has a soulful feeling, the song being one of the band's prominent forays into soul and gospel during the "Exile" era.

Recording began in December 1971 and continued through March 1972, with some recording taking place at Nellcote using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. With Jagger on lead vocals, backing vocals are provided by Tamiya Lynn, Dr. John (who also plays piano for the recording), Clydie King, Vanetta Field, Shirley Goodman and Joe Green. Electric guitars were performed by Richards and Mick Taylor, while bass is performed by Bill Wyman. With Charlie Watts on drums, Bobby Keys provides sax and Jim Price lends both trombone and trumpet.

"Let It Loose" has never been performed live.

The song was featured in Martin Scorsese's 2006 film "The Departed" and included on its soundtrack.

The song was also featured in Kevin Spacey's 2004 film "Beyond the Sea" but is not included on the movie's soundtrack.
