Background and content
In 2012, the sibling duo Brothers Osborne (consisting of John and T.J. Osborne) signed their first recording contract with EMI Records Nashville.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/brothers-osborne-mn0003176030/biography|title=Brothers Osborne|last=Collar|first=Matt|work=Allmusic|access-date=11 July 2015}} The song was composed by brothers, as well as Jon Mabe. In a 2013 interview, T.J. Osborne explained that "Let's Go There" was first composed in "the dead of winter." By being surrounded in a cold environment, the songwriting team were inspired to write a song about "getting away from the cold and going someplace, or just any place, to get out of a funk."{{cite web |title=World Premiere: Brothers Osborne – ‘Let’s Go There’ Music Video |url=https://www.soundslikenashville.com/music/world-premiere-brothers-osborne-lets-go-music-video/ |website=Sounds Like Nashville |access-date=4 March 2021}} The song was produced by the brothers, along with Brad Hill.

Release, reception and music video
"Let's Go There" received positive reviews from music critics and writers. Billy Dukes of Taste of Country praised the song's "musicianship" and characterized it as a "country love song." Dukes concluded saying, "Great songs will come, but without talent and professionalism, they fall through the cracks with many other new artists. Brothers Osborne prove that won't happen on this first look at the sibling duo. They're definitely one to keep an eye on in 2014."
The song was released as their debut single in September 2013 via EMI Nashville.{{cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|title=Hot Country Songs 1944 to 2017|publisher=Record Research, Inc|year=2017|page=56|isbn=978-0-89820-229-8}} It spent a total of 19 weeks on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, peaking at number 36 in December 2013.
