Let's Start Here is the fifth studio album by the American rapper Lil Yachty, released on January 27, 2023, through Motown and Quality Control Music. After receiving middling reviews towards his previous album Lil Boat 3 (2020), Lil Yachty was unhappy about where he was musically and wanted to be remembered and respected as an artist. Originally describing his music as "bubblegum trap", Lil Yachty has since denounced the phrase. During January 2022, he stated that his next release would be a "non-rap album" and would consist of "all live instrumentation". His 2022 "joke" single "Poland" received critical acclaim and created a "mild international incident" according to Rolling Stone. During December 2022, a low quality version of Let's Start Here was leaked on the Internet under the unofficial name Sonic Ranch, which lowered Lil Yachty's morale. Weeks later, his record label accidentally sent the album's preorders early to Amazon, aborting his plans to use various videos to introduce and contextualize the album.

Let's Start Here was mainly produced by Patrick Wimberly, with contributions from a variety of record producers such as Jacob Portrait, SadPony, Justin Raisen, Magdalena Bay, Jam City, Teo Halm, and Lil Yachty himself. The album is primarily psychedelic rock, psychedelic soul, and funk, a departure from Lil Yachty's signature trap sound. He was inspired to create an album that made people take him seriously as an artist. He was also inspired by a variety of musicians, including Pink Floyd and their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, which many critics said Let's Start Here drew comparisons to. The lyrics of Let's Start Here explore themes of lust, ecstasy, overdose, and love. The album was primarily recorded at the CRC in Brooklyn, with additional recording sessions taking place at Blue Room Studios and Hit Gallery Studios in Atlanta, Electric Lady Studios in New York City, Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, Mac DeMarco's Jizz Jazz Studios and the Tree House in Los Angeles.

Let's Start Here was promoted by the Field Trip Tour across North America and Europe and performances at Rolling Loud and on Saturday Night Live (1975–present). It debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and at number one on three different Billboard charts, earning 36,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. The use of an AI-generated photograph for the album's artwork was controversial and was criticized by fans. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics with some praising Lil Yachty's take on the psychedelic rock genre, but others believed it was repetitive and not experimental. It received praise from numerous high-profile musicians following its release. Several publications included it in their year-end lists.
