Chase & Status have had three number one tracks on the UK Dance Chart in 2007 with the double A-side "Hurt You"/"Sell Me Your Soul", and in 2008 with "Take Me Away"/"Judgement (Informer)". On 5 October 2008, they reached number 70 on the national singles chart and number one on the UK Dance Chart again with their single "Pieces" featuring vocals by Plan B. In 2009, they made number 45 with "Against All Odds" which featured UK rapper Kano.
Chase & Status' first album, More Than Alot, debuted in the UK album charts at number 49 on 19 October 2008 and entered the UK dance album chart at number 2.
Their album More Than Alot received the Best Album Award at the 2009 Drum and Bass awards, Birmingham, UK.
Following the success of their last album the band wanted to gain a more global success. After meeting with a long time favourite of theirs, Cloud9, they decided to move in a different direction. Together they agreed that the band should do more pop collaborations in order to achieve a more mainstream fanbase. Soon afterwards they quickly began working on the album. On 8 November 2009, the duo entered the UK Top 40 for the first time with the track "End Credits". The track was released on 2 November 2009 and featuring British musician Plan B managed to reach a peak of number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was written for the movie Harry Brown, which also starred Ben Drew, aka. Plan B.
The duo then released "Let You Go" on 15 August 2010, revealing it to be the second official single to be released from their second studio album, named No More Idols according to posters outside their album launch show at the HMV Forum in Kentish Town on October 21. The single featured vocals from Mali and debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 11; marking the duo's second consecutive Top 40 hit. "Hypest Hype" featuring Tempa T was confirmed in October 2010 to be the third single from the album and was released as a free download from their website on 8 November 2010; meaning it did not qualify to chart. The fourth single from the album is the dubstep-flavoured Blind Faith, which features Nottingham-born soul singer/songwriter Liam Bailey - it was released on 31 January 2011. The new anticipated album also contains a new single 'Heavy' with Dizzee Rascal.
They have also created a remix version of "Invaders Must Die" for The Prodigy. The remix reached 53 in the Australian Aria Singles Chart and 7 in the Aria Dance Chart. They have also produced for Bajan singer Rihanna, on her fourth album Rated R as well as for British singer Alexandra Burke's album Overcome.
Let You Go
Chase & Status Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't go on this way
Things have got to change
When your gone
And each day
A choice gets made
You think it's yours to make
But you are wrong
There's nowhere to run
No place you can go
Nowhere you can hide
Where you won't be found
There's no place on earth
Where you could lay low
Wherever you are
I will track you down
There's no way in hell
I will let you leave
Let you just get up
And walk out on me
There's no way on earth
Hell would have to freeze
More than twice before
I will let you go!
Let you go!
I will let you go!
There's no way on earth
Hell would have to freeze
More than twice before
I will let you go
Let you go
You say
We can't go on this way
Things have got to change
When your gone
And each day
A choice gets made
You think it's yours to make
But your wrong
There's nowhere to run
No place you can go
Nowhere you can hide
Where you won't be found
There's no place on earth
Where you could lay low
Wherever you are
I will track you down
There's no way in hell
I will let you leave
Let you just get up
And walk out on me
There's no way on earth
Hell would have to freeze
More than twice before
I will let you go!
There's no way
I will let you go!
Let you go!
I will let you go!
There's no way on earth
Hell would have to freeze
More than twice before
I will let you go!
Let you go!
There's no way
I will let you go!
The lyrics to Chase & Status Feat. Mali's "Let You Go" are a heart-wrenching expression of love and the fierce determination to hold on to it. The song is about a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart, with one partner seemingly ready to leave. The other partner is desperate to hold on and is willing to go to any lengths to do so.
The opening lines "You say we can't go on this way, things have got to change when you're gone" sets the tone for the rest of the song. It highlights that there are issues in the relationship that need to be resolved, but one partner does not see a way to make things work. The lyrics also show that the decision to leave seems to be entirely the one partner's choice, but the other partner feels like they have a say in it too, saying "you think it's yours to make, but you're wrong."
The chorus is where the emotion of the song truly comes through. The repetition of "There's no way on earth, hell would have to freeze more than twice before I will let you go," portrays the partner's fierce determination to hold on to the relationship. The lyrics are an expression of the love and attachment that the partner has for the other, and they are unwilling to let them just walk away.
In conclusion, "Let You Go" is a powerful expression of the depths of love and the determination to hold onto it. The lyrics convey the desperation and fear of losing someone you care for deeply, and the chorus is a declaration of love that echoes long after the song has ended.
Line by Line Meaning
You say
You are talking to me about something serious
We can't go on this way
The current situation is not sustainable
Things have got to change
A change has to be made to improve the situation
When you're gone
When you are no longer here with me
And each day
Every day that passes by
A choice gets made
A decision is made
You think it's yours to make
You believe that you have the power to decide
But you're wrong
You are mistaken in thinking that you have control
There's nowhere to run
There is no escape or safe haven
No place you can go
There is no location where you can hide
Nowhere you can hide
There is no hiding place
Where you won't be found
I will find you, no matter where you are
There's no place on earth
Even if you travel to the ends of the earth
Where you could lay low
You cannot avoid being found
Wherever you are
No matter your location
I will track you down
I will find you, no matter what
There's no way in hell
Under no circumstances
I will let you leave
You will not be allowed to go
Let you just get up
Leave without consequence
And walk out on me
And abandon me
There's no way on earth
Under no circumstances
Hell would have to freeze
An impossible event would have to occur
More than twice before
Multiple times
I will let you go!
I will not allow you to leave
Let you go!
I will not allow you to leave
I will let you go!
I will not allow you to leave
There's no way on earth
Under no circumstances
Hell would have to freeze
An impossible event would have to occur
More than twice before
Multiple times
I will let you go!
I will not allow you to leave
Let you go!
I will not allow you to leave
