It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, his highest charting single on that chart until 2005's 'Like You' and 'Let Me Hold You'. 'Let's Get Down' garnered a positive reception from critics who credited Bow Wow for displaying some maturity in his music.
Bow Wow said that following the name change, he wanted to do the same with his music by contributing more into the songwriting process of the album and release a single that matched his new image. It's the first song to be released by Bow Wow without the 'Lil'' moniker in his name after making his film debut in 2002's Like Mike and releasing his cover of 'Basketball' for the film's soundtrack. It was produced by Jazze Pha and features rapper Birdman under his former alias 'Baby'. The song was written by Shad Moss, Phalon Alexander, Rahman Griffin and a then-unknown T. 'Let's Get Down' is a song by American rapper Bow Wow, released on Jas the first single off his third album Unleashed (2003).
