Inspired by obsessively watching 1990 filmParis Is Burning, and American television seriesPose andRuPaul's Drag Race, Mabel wrote the track as a reflection ondance music's generational themes of expression, liberation and inclusion.[8] According to the singer, "Let Them Know" is "dedicated to anyone who's ever felt scared to truly be themselves."[9] The lyrics include a reference toDoja Cat and her 2020 song "Say So".[7][5]
