By 2017, several of Cutler's songs (including "Your Shirt") garnered numerous streams and led to collaborations that year with acts like Louis The Child ("Slow Down Love"), ayokay ("The Shine"), Kidswaste ("Tonight"), and Kasbo ("Found You"). She signed a record deal with Ultra Records in late 2017 and released her first EP, "Snow In October". After touring with Quinn XCII in early 2018, Cutler released two independent mixtapes, "Sleeping With Roses" and "Sleeping With Roses II." She also went on her first two nationwide headlining tours in support of each mixtape, both of which sold out in advance.
In March 2019, she signed to Republic Records and released a joint EP, "brent", with friend and label-mate Jeremy Zucker shortly after. The EP features the single "you were good to me", which they performed live on The Today Show. It was also pressed on a limited edition white vinyl through the retailer Urban Outfitters. It was limited to a run of 1000 copies pressed. In May 2019, Cutler collaborated with Kygo on the single, "Not OK". It became her third collaboration (after "Slow Down Love" and "The Shine") to appear on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, peaking at number 9.
In late 2019, Cutler began releasing new singles, including "How To Be Human" and "Lucky" (featuring Alexander 23). Along with "Sad Tonight", the songs served as the primary singles for her debut studio album, How To Be Human, released on January 17, 2020 by Republic Records. On January 23, 2020 she performed the lead single, "Sad Tonight", on Late Night With Seth Meyers. That song became Cutler's first entry on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, peaking at number 32 in March 2020. In April 2020, she was featured alongside Quinn XCII on the Louis The Child track, "Little Things".
Cutler was also slated to perform at Coachella 2020, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2020, she released a version of her song "Crazier Things" which features Noah Kahan.

I Should Let You Go
Chelsea Cutler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh
I couldn't be enough, well, what am I supposed to do?
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Probably shouldn't be driving right now, yeah
With all these Benzos in my blood
Probably shouldn't be tryna talk you down
You told me to come over, then you told me I should go
It's colder this October, so I paid for a cab home
You know I'm not over it, tell me is it over yet?
Giving me a hundred reasons I should let you go, but
Go, but
I should let you go, but
Oh
Fell asleep with makeup on
Wishin' you're the reason that my clothes came off
And I'm so far gone
I don't even know if I know you at all
Probably shouldn't be driving right now, yeah
With all these Benzos in my blood
Probably shouldn't be trying to talk you down
When you don't wanna wanna be loved
You told me to come over, then you told me I should go
It's colder this October, so I paid for a cab home
You know I'm not over it, tell me is it over yet?
Giving me a hundred reasons I should let you go, but
Go, but
I should let you go, but
Go, but
I should let you go, but
Oh
You told me to come over then you told me I should go
It's colder this October, so I paid for a cab home
You know I'm not over it, tell me is it over yet?
Giving me a hundred reasons I should let you go, but
The lyrics of Chelsea Cutler's "I Should Let You Go" speak about a difficult relationship that has ended but where one person is struggling to move on. In the opening lines, she addresses her previous partner, stating that they don't believe in love, and she doesn't believe in them. This suggests that the person has been emotionally unavailable or unfaithful, leading to the breakdown of the relationship. She accepts that she couldn't be enough for them, indicating that she may have tried to change herself to fit into their expectations.
The chorus echoes the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing. She acknowledges that she should let go of this person, but can't bring herself to do it yet. The repetition of the words "go, but" reinforces the struggle she is facing in coming to terms with the end of the relationship. She then reveals that she fell asleep with makeup on, potentially indicating that she went out trying to forget their problems, but it didn't work. The lyric "Wishing you're the reason that my clothes came off" could imply that she regrets being intimate with this person, feeling that she gave too much of herself to someone who didn't appreciate her.
In the second verse, Chelsea Cutler touches on the danger of driving under the influence of prescription medication ("Benzos in my blood"). She reminds herself that she shouldn't be talking her ex-partner down when they clearly don't want to be loved. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the internal conflict the singer is struggling with - wanting to move on from the relationship, but being unable to completely let go.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't believe in love, well, I don't believe in you
You have no faith in love, and as a result, I have no faith in you
I couldn't be enough, well, what am I supposed to do?
Ooh, ooh, yeah
I feel like I'm not enough for you, and I don't know what I can do to change that
Probably shouldn't be driving right now, yeah
With all these Benzos in my blood
Probably shouldn't be tryna talk you down
When you don't wanna wanna be loved
It's not smart for me to be behind the wheel with this many Benzos in my system, and I shouldn't be trying to convince you to love me when you clearly don't want to.
You told me to come over, then you told me I should go
It's colder this October, so I paid for a cab home
You know I'm not over it, tell me is it over yet?
Giving me a hundred reasons I should let you go, but
You gave me mixed signals by telling me to come over and then telling me to leave. It's a cold, lonely month, and I had to pay to get home. I'm not over our relationship yet, but I need to know if it's really over. You've given me numerous reasons to move on, but I'm struggling to let you go.
Go, but
I should let you go, but
Oh
I know I should move on and let you go, but it's easier said than done.
Fell asleep with makeup on
Wishin' you're the reason that my clothes came off
And I'm so far gone
I don't even know if I know you at all
I fell asleep still wearing my makeup, thinking about you and how you might have been the reason my clothes came off. I feel so lost and disconnected from you that I'm not even sure I know who you are anymore.
