Let Your Head Go

“Let Your Head Go” is a double-side single from Victoria Beckham from her 2nd Studio Album

Lyrics:

From the river
To the waterfall
Let the music flow
Feel your fingers
Feel the energy
Shake your very soul
And when it feels so good
I can almost lose my mind
And when it feels so good
Ooh it makes me crazy, every time

Let your head go
Shake your body free
Cos tonight the beat’s gonna get you
Let your head go
Baby care for me
One more time, I will make it better

Better, I will make it better

From the dance floor
To your fantasy
Gotta break it down
In my system
Deep inside of me
Gotta let it out

And when it feels so good
I can almost lose my mind
And when it feels so good
Ooh it makes me crazy, every time

Let your head go
Shake your body free
Cos tonight the beat’s gonna get you
Let your head go
Baby care for me
One more time, I will make it better

Better, I will make it better

And when it feels so good
I can almost lose my mind
And when it feels so good
Ooh it makes me crazy, every time

Let your head go
Shake your body free (shake your body free)
Cos tonight the beat’s gonna get you (gonna let go)
Let your head go
Baby care for me (baby care for me)
One more time, I will make it better (gonna let go)

Let your head go
(Shake your body free)
Cos tonight the beat’s gonna get you (gonna let go)
Let your head go
Baby care for me (baby care for me)
One more time, I will make it better

Music Video:

Udoi04

A music video was released in promotion of the song. The video features Beckham first tearing the clothes in her dressing room and appearing to go crazy, a reference to Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Beckham is then featured in two dream sequences, once as fragile in the wake of this “breakdown” and is being photographed heavily by paparazzi as she is escorted by psychologists, and once again in the same outfit being ignored by paparazzi, signaling that she is no longer relevant. She wakes from the nightmare and is seen attempting to grab from a box a cross with the letters OBE in neon lights. She is then seen having hair and makeup done and posing in the mirror (including her famous point gesture). She is seen on a throne, giving orders and watching dancers, as she plays with a crown. She walks between the dancers, sets the crown on the floor, walks back to the throne, and the abbreviation “VB” is seen, with her fingers making the letter V. Robert Compsey from Digital Spy noted that the video “proved she can laugh at herself”.

Album:

The song was to be released in Beckham’s second studio album, that was scrapped. Was released on The ‘Real’ Beckhams DVD as an audio and music video track. Was also part of the leaked album “Open Your Eyes from 2006.

Single:

LetYourHeadGoCover “Let Your Head Go” is a song by British singer-songwriter Victoria Beckham. It was released as a double A-side with “This Groove”. It was intended for Victoria’s next album, but her record company Telstar Records went bankrupt before it surfaced. In 2004, it has been included on the video album The ‘Réal’ Beckhams. The single was first announced on Top Of The Tops, on November 28, a week later before the music videos releases.

Background:

In 2002, Beckham signed a contract with Telstar Records and 19 Management worth £1.5 million. Beckham then began recording a pop-influenced album, Open Your Eyes, which yielded the single “Let Your Head Go”, but she allegedly chose not to release the album after being disappointed with the results. Instead of pop, Beckham wanted a more urban sound and worked with urban producer Damon Dash to work on the R&B and hip hop influenced album Come Together. A Dash-produced track “It’s That Simple” featuring M.O.P. premiered on radio stations in July 2003, generating mixed reviews.

Beckham’s first single with Telstar, “Let Your Head Go”/”This Groove”, was released in the UK on 29 December 2003, following heavy promotion and many TV appearances across the Christmas period. The double A-side lifted “Let Your Head Go” from Beckham’s earlier pop-inspired work with “This Groove” – previously called “Baby Boy” in demo versions – one of her R&B songs and remains Beckham’s last single release to date. Outside of the UK, Damon Dash had plans for Beckham in the US, including a potential release of “Let Your Head Go / This Groove” under the name of “Posh Spice Victoria Beckham”. The release was proposed for sometime between March to May 2004, but never eventuated.

With the UK media describing her solo music career a failure, combined with a rumored fall-out between Dash and Fuller, her hip hop album, Come Together, was not released. She was dismissed from Telstar when the company became bankrupt, and gave up music to focus her fashion career.

Sales & Chart:

Released on 29 December 2003, the single entered the UK and Scotland Singles Chart at and peaked at #3, charting for 8 weeks. This was the highest new entry for the UK week, and also tied with Emma Bunton’s “Downtown” as the highest chart position for a solo Spice Girl since Geri Halliwell’s “It’s Raining Men” topped the chart in 2001. It became the UK’s eighty-eighth best-selling single of 2004 with sales of 68,656 copies. Like “Out of Your Mind”, once again this track was released in the same week as a Sophie Ellis-Bextor track, the track this time being “I Won’t Change You” from the aforementioned singer, which reached #9.

Performances:

The song was performed mainly most on the Top Of The Pops, during it time on the charts, CD:UK, T4, the World Idol Final, and TRL.
