'outright renegade stands up to cover beatles classic' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'little singer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation for little) and 'l' is located in the answer.
'singer' could be 'tit' (type of songbird) and 'tit' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for let it be that I've seen before include "Single" , "Beatles album" , "Beatles song - don't interfere!" , "Beatles record" , "title?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
