lets go
Frees from grip
Let's go is an exhortation to begin or depart, urging a group that includes the speaker to start moving or take action: Let's go, we're going to be late.
As an exclamation, it expresses enthusiasm or encouragement, often chanted at sporting events to rally a team.
The phrase has become a standalone interjection signaling readiness or excitement: I just got paid—let's go!
The contracted let's distinguishes this from lets go, meaning releases or allows to leave.
