Nothing ever goes out of fashion, especially when it comes to a Radiohead song. The '90s English rock band has proven they are still worthy of the charts, as their song "Let Down" has gained resurgence since its initial 1997 release.
According to Billboard Hot 100, Radiohead has re-entered the charts at No. 95, beating out Doechii and SZA's "Girl, Get Up." Emmanuel Cortes's "Amor" stands at No. 94 ahead of the rock song.
The song regained popularity last year thanks to a TikTok trend, leading "Let Down" to enter the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 91. It was a milestone for the band, seeing as their last Billboard entry was in 2008 with their single "Nude."
It's been almost 30 years since Radiohead's "Let Down" was released as part of their third studio album, OK Computer. Released as a promotional single, it reached number 29 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.
Main vocalist Thom Yorke once revealed the song was recorded at 3 a.m. in Bath, Somerset. Its sound was inspired by producer and songwriter Phil Spector, with its lyrics about a fear of being trapped.

Despite the song's popularity, Radiohead has rarely performed the song live. It's largely due to the multi-track recording used during the studio recording, making it difficult to recreate in a live setting. The band performed the song in 2006 and later in 2016 during their A Moon Shaped Pool tour. They recently performed "Let Down" during their 2025 tour, their first tour after seven years.
Radiohead originally formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1985, with Yorke on vocals, guitar, and keyboard. He created the band alongside brothers Jonny Greenwood and Colin Greenwood on guitar, keyboard, and bass, with Ed O'Brien on guitar and backup vocals. Philip Selway is also a founding member on drums. After nine studio albums, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
