"Let Me Down Gently" is a 2014 song by English singer Elly Jackson, known professionally as La Roux, from her second studio album, Trouble in Paradise.
It is a synth-pop ballad,[1] opening with a "steady electronic beat",[2] which builds up towards a brief moment of silence, followed by a "euphoric, cathartic barnstormer, complete with skyscraping sax solo" at the end of the track.
[8][9] Prins Thomas and George FitzGerald produced remixes of the song which were uploaded onto La Roux's official SoundCloud page, but were never released on other platforms.
[12] It begins with Elly performing the first part of the song sitting in a grey dark room, with a stream of light coming through the only window in the ceiling.
The second part of the video pictures the singer running through foggy fields, occasionally interspersed with footage of her dancing in the grey room.
