• The song will appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the 34-track official soundtrack that releases on November 19 alongside the game.
• Nine of the album’s 34 songs have been revealed so far, including tracks from Travis Scott, Cardi B, Morgan Wallen, Keith Richards and Fuerza Regida.
• Justice’s music was already hiding in GTA 6’s marketing: their score was previewed in August’s Extended Look and the official cover art reveal.

What is the GTA 6 launch trailer song?

“Flower in a Hurricane” is a new single by Justice — the French electronic duo of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay — featuring contributions from Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Released October 15, 2026, it debuted as the music of the official GTA 6 launch trailer, and Rockstar named it as the trailer’s song in the announcement.

This breaks the pattern of the earlier trailers. Trailer 1 was built around Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road” and Trailer 2 used The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together” — both licensed catalogue songs. The launch trailer goes with a completely original song written for the game, a sign the soundtrack campaign is shifting from nostalgia picks to the all-original lineup of The Album.

Who composed the original score for GTA 6?

Justice — Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay — composed the original score for GTA 6, Rockstar confirmed on October 15, 2026. The news landed alongside the launch trailer and the “Flower in a Hurricane” single release, with coverage across Rolling Stone, Billboard, Consequence, Pitchfork, Stereogum and Variety within hours.

Fans had already heard their work in GTA 6 material: Consequence and Billboard both report that Justice’s music was previewed in the score of the August Extended Look and the official cover art reveal. Rockstar also says the duo’s original score will get its own separate album release, with further details to come — so the music rollout is splitting into the game score and the various-artists Album.

Who is featured on “Flower in a Hurricane”?

The credited guests are Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Consequence reports that Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker contributes guitar and harmonises with SZA on vocals, while King Gizzard are listed as composers and lyricists on the track.

The lineup is not a one-off: Justice previously teamed up with Tame Impala on “Neverender,” a Grammy-winning track from their 2024 album Hyperdrama that topped Billboard’s alternative airplay chart. Rolling Stone hears it as a modern take on the Eighties Vice City sound, with a nod to Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing” — though Mark Knopfler is not among its 11 credited songwriters.

What do the lyrics of “Flower in a Hurricane” mean?

The song is a love story under pressure — fitting for Jason and Lucia. JustJared’s lyrics breakdown reads the title image literally: something delicate trying to survive an overwhelming force, a relationship caught between devotion and the fear it could fall apart. That mirrors the trailer’s framing of the couple on “the darkest side of the sunniest place in America,” forced to rely on each other after an easy score goes wrong.

Where does the song fit in the GTA 6 soundtrack album?

“Flower in a Hurricane” will appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, the official soundtrack of 34 original songs written for the game. The album is out on November 19, 2026 — the same day GTA 6 launches — and is up for pre-save on streaming services and pre-order on vinyl and CD.

Nine of the 34 tracks have been revealed so far. Alongside the Justice single, Billboard’s reporting (via Globe TV) names Travis Scott’s “RHYNO,” Morgan Wallen’s “Last Thing You Need,” Keith Richards’ “Bright Lights, Big City,” Cardi B’s “Don’t Chart” and Fuerza Regida’s “Suzuki” — a deliberate drip-feed doubling as its own marketing campaign ahead of launch.

GTA 6 trailer songs compared

Every GTA 6 reveal has had its own signature track. Here’s how the launch trailer’s song fits the pattern — and breaks it.

What this means

The music announcement matters because Rockstar treats GTA soundtracks as cultural events, not background audio. The Trailer 1 Tom Petty pick sent streams of a 1989 deep cut up 36,979% in a week — now the studio is betting an all-original, all-star song can do the same, this time owned by the game itself. Hiring Justice for the score, then debuting their single in the launch trailer five weeks out, turns the soundtrack into a second marketing engine running parallel to the game.

Watch what comes next: the score album details, the 25 still-unrevealed Album tracks, and whether “Flower in a Hurricane” charts like the licensed trailer songs did. With GTA 6’s November 19 release 34 days away, the sound is now officially part of the fantasy. For the rest, check our GTA 6 pre-load and download size guide.
