Four official GTA 6 videos carry licensed or original music. Trailer 1 runs on Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road”. Trailer 2 is built around the Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together”. An Extended Look uses six licensed songs. The Launch Trailer premieres Justice’s original “Flower in a Hurricane”. Trailer 1 and 2 songs come from press identification that nobody has disputed. The Launch Trailer song is credited on Rockstar’s own music page.

“Confirmed” here means the identification is universal across outlets or, for the Launch Trailer, credited by Rockstar. Rockstar does not publish cue sheets for its trailers, so the Extended Look list comes from Wikipedia’s article on the special, which we cross-checked against the press coverage in our research.
What song is in GTA 6 Trailer 1?
“Love Is a Long Road” by Tom Petty, from his 1989 solo album Full Moon Fever. Trailer 1 dropped on the evening of December 4, 2023, about 15 hours early, after a low-quality copy leaked on X.
Den of Geek pointed out two neat touches. A rainbow “Petty Forever” sticker is visible on a door near the end of the trailer. And Petty’s account has said he was once set to contribute “Running Down a Dream” to San Andreas, which never happened reported. Den of Geek also read the lyric as a nod to Lucia and to the decade-long wait for the trailer, which is commentary, not a Rockstar statement.
What song is in GTA 6 Trailer 2?
“Hot Together” by the Pointer Sisters (1986) carries most of Trailer 2. NME and Den of Geek both list three more songs heard in shorter stretches, mostly as in-car radio:
- Wang Chung, “Everybody Have Fun Tonight”
- Zenglen, “Child Support” (some lists credit Zenglen & 5 Etwal)
- Tammy Wynette, “Talkin’ to Myself Again”
Den of Geek read the Wynette track as an early hint at a country station. That turned out right: Back Country Radio is one of the six confirmed GTA 6 radio stations. Some fan lists also add Jay Ferguson’s “Thunder Island”. We have not seen that confirmed by a credible outlet rumour.
What songs are in the GTA 6 Extended Look?
The 26:48 Netflix and YouTube Extended Look used six licensed tracks, per Wikipedia’s article on An Extended Look:
- Depeche Mode, “People Are People”
- Prefab Sprout, “Cars and Girls”
- Cliff Richard, “Devil Woman”
- Chimbala and Omega, “Se Me Nota (Agárrame)”
- Def Leppard, “Love Bites”
- Phil Collins, “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)”
We list these in the order Wikipedia gives, which is not guaranteed to be the running order in the video. None has been placed on a specific in-game station yet.
What song is in the GTA 6 launch trailer?
“Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice, featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It is an original song, not a licensed one, and it arrived on October 15, 2026, with the 1:29 Launch Trailer.
The same day, Rockstar revealed that French duo Justice composed the game’s original score. Rockstar’s music page lists “Flower in a Hurricane” as a single from both GTA VI: The Album and the Original Score by Justice confirmed.
Flower or Flowers?
Rockstar’s pages spell it “Flower in a Hurricane”, singular. Game Rant’s launch-day article and some other outlets wrote “Flowers in a Hurricane”. Ynetnews used the singular. We follow Rockstar.
Are the trailer songs in the game?
Rockstar has not said whether “Love Is a Long Road”, “Hot Together” or the Extended Look tracks play on in-game radio. Expect the answer when the game unlocks. “Flower in a Hurricane” is the only one tied to official GTA VI releases.
Other official videos
Rockstar’s video list also includes a 0:30 “Pre-Load Now” spot (Nov 10, 2026) and the 33-second cover-art teaser from June 18, 2026. Neither has a credited song that we could verify. The full video run is on our GTA 6 timeline.
