Not massively into the music video, but I'm absolutely LOVING the song. I actually don't mind her voice in this!
The best part for me in the instrumental is when she says "when am I gonna get mine?" and the beat gets louder/more echoed piano style than before, I'm not sure what it is but there is something about it that catches my ear every time I hear it. Definitely one of her best in my opinion.

QUOTE(Jay ☆ @ Jun 11 2019, 06:55 PM)  I think it’s a combination of things. I agree that The X Factor was a big reason of course, but there were other things going in her favour. Even though she’d been in the business for 7 years, she was new as a solo artist & seemed fresh. She was young (26). The music industry was in a totally different place (6 week build up of radio, promotion & preorders). I think it’s fair to say Fight for This Love as a video, song & her visuals just really worked & connected with the public! Sometimes it doesn’t work. X Factor was still a big deal in the ratings when Tulisa was a judge, but her album didn’t work out for her! Tulisa had the embarassment of her sextape working against her lmao |

I feel like Tulisa never had Cheryl's accessible charm and that worked against her. Of course also she hit X Factor when it was starting its decline and seemed like a suspiciously similar substitute for her which never works out well.

It's unfair to put all the credit onto X-Factor. Cheryl managed a moderately big hit as a feature with Will-I-Am on Heartbreaker before she started X-Factor. She also went solo at the perfect moment with Girls Aloud being the biggest they had ever been. I think Cheryl took a lot of the success Girls Aloud would have gone on to achieve if they had continued over Cheryl's solo music.
Yes X-Factor certainly helped, and I'm not so sure whether she would have achieved the million selling #1 single and million selling #1 album without it, however a lot of other factors (FFTL song, the Ashley cheating drama, the fresh solo star coming off the back of massive girl group - think initial Spice success - etc) would have ensured she had a successful first era without X-Factor in my opinion. |

Omg we slept on Let You's first birthday just like the charts did when it was released.
This song deserved so much more. I hope we get a performance including choreo one day! |

I honestly think it would have been a bigger seller than Crazy Stupid Love or I Don’t Care if it had come out in 2014
 Such an underrated song.

Both this and Love Made Me Do deserved so much more love. I wonder when, or maybe if, she will release new music because we know she has recorded a lot more songs.

I strongly feel this could've been the opposite of LMMDI and turned into a cute lil hit if she put it out in November 2018, as a package it's just leagues and bounds above that. Justice for Let You

Meh it’s an ok song but her last two solo singles are definitely her weakest two singles for me!
But this was better than Love Made Me Do It. |

It's really saddening that it's SO much better than many of the songs she actually had hits with.
She never stood a chance at this point though.I'd be surprised if we hear from her again music-wise. |

hard to believe this was a year ago, the album if there was one must be shelved as 2 singles in and a year later nothing. maybe a hits album album and include the 2 singles on that could be her best option and it might her get another top 40 album.

I still like this song, but Cheryl won't have another hit (unless she's in a mayor duet). Those kids who grew up with her music now listen to artists the same age as them and those fans who are Cheryl's age now got other priorities in life than checking out if Cheryl releases just a single song once a year.

I think it’s more Cheryl herself doesn’t see her career as a priority right now.
You could argue when her career was successful her personal life.... well wasn’t yet now it seems it’s the other way around. I don’t think she’ll ever fully quit music and never sing or release anything ever again but I think she kind of knows she had success with music and the charts when the charts were very different so she just ended up being one of those artists who didn’t really transition into the streaming era. Now Cheryls a mam too I think that’s her main goal set. In her autobiography she always said she felt she was put on earth to become a mother. I do hope we get some new music from her though as I love the woman. I still think albums wise she could score a top ten album again in week one but if she wanted success she’d ever have to go down the features route for a while or do real extensive promo! |

I think with a lot of promo and bundles she could get a top 10 album but would fall fast. I think she should do the greatest hits release and promote a brand new single to push the album and she might get an album top 10 and a month or so in the chart.
