"Let Me Be" is a song by Australian multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd. It was released in 2003 as the lead single from his second studio album, Solace (2024).
It was voted 54 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003.
It was released in Europe in 2006 via Anti- (record label).
In 2023, Rudd reflected saying "My whole thing was pretty quirky, didges with guitars and stuff, no one was doing that, and I didn't see it as anything really commercial. Then, all of a sudden it got traction and became popular, so I was stoked."
In November 2015, the song featured in a KFC advertisement, angering his fans and PETA as Rudd is long time vegetarian and animal rights activist.
In 2025, the single was certified platinum in Australia.
