A canção foi escrita por Tom Snow e Dean Pitchford e produzida por George Duke, integrando a trilha sonora do filme *Footloose*.
"Let's Hear It for the Boy" deu a Deniece Williams seu segundo número‑um na Billboard Hot 100 em 26 de maio de 1984, liderando também as paradas de dance e R&B.
O single chegou ao segundo lugar no UK Singles Chart, sendo ultrapassado apenas por “Wake Me Up Before You Go‑Go”, de Wham!.
A música recebeu uma indicação ao Oscar de Melhor Canção Original na 57ª cerimônia da Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas.
No vídeo oficial, lançado em meados de abril de 1984, participam os backing vocalists George Merrill e Shannon Rubicam, que mais tarde formariam a dupla pop Boy Meets Girl.
Em 2011, a versão country da canção foi gravada por Jana Kramer para o remake de *Footloose*, e em 2017 o artista britânico Allan Jay lançou uma releitura beneficente em apoio ao Retired Greyhound Trust.
