GTA 6 soundtrack: Every confirmed song so far and who sings them

As we approach the final strait before GTA 6 releases, we've got our best look yet at the game's stacked soundtrack.

Across Trailer 1, Trailer 2, the Extended Look and even some leaks, we've got a huge list of songs and artists set to feature on the game's iconic radio stations.

So, from Mahler to Travis Scott, here's everything we know about the songs and artists on the GTA 6 soundtrack so far.

What songs are used in the GTA 6 trailers?

Now we have two trailers, we have a couple of songs that help paint a picture of what the GTA 6 story might entail. Below, you can hear and learn about each!

What is the GTA 6 Trailer 1 song?

The GTA 6 Trailer 1 song is called Love Is a Long Road, and it was written by Thomas Earl Petty and Michael W Campbell.

You can check out a cool live version of the song below, which will show you that it's a bit longer than the segment you heard in the trailer.

Robinson's version was never released, until an album, We Were Dreamers '85, released in 2021 featuring lots of never-heard-before tracks.

You can listen to Robinson's version just below!

Who sings the GTA 6 trailer songs?

The GTA 6 Trailer 1 song is performed by the late Tom Petty, with the GTA 6 Trailer 2 song performed by The Pointer Sisters.

Tom Petty was an American singer and guitarist who appeared in such bands as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mudcrutch the Traveling Wilburys.

Other brilliant Tom Petty songs include Free Fallin', I Won't Back Down, American Girl and Learning to Fly.

Love Is a Long Road was actually the B-side to Free Fallin', one of Petty's biggest hits, and it appeared on his 1989 debut solo album Full Moon Fever.

Once we find out more, we will update you as soon as we can!

When you look at the lyrics to Tom Petty's Love Is a Long Road found in Trailer 1, it really does seem like there are some shared themes and vibes between the two, especially now Trailer 2 is out with more info on the official GTA 6 page, which has the following about Jason meeting Lucia:

"Meeting Lucia could be the best or worst thing to ever happen to him. Jason knows how he'd like it to turn out but right now, it's hard to tell."

The following lyrics help paint the picture of what we can expect between the pair.

"There was a girl I knew" — this opening line is perfect, considering that GTA 6 appears to have the franchise's first female protagonist. Her name seems to be Lucia.

"She tried to make my world, the way she thought it should be" — the trailer shows Lucia and her partner embracing a life of crime, perhaps to try and counteract some unfairness in the world and rearrange their life.

"Yeah, we were desperate then" — again, this makes us think of Lucia and her partner, and the sort of story that could revolve around them. Are they getting into a tight spot and turning to heists and such to get out of it?

"Love is a long, long road" — romantic love seems to play a big part in the story, with Lucia and her partner in bed and talking about trust at one point. Plus, if the rumours about the GTA 6 map size are true, it seems likely that the game will feature lots of driving and plenty of long, long roads.

"I would wake up at noon [...] I would wait for the moon" — okay, this one is a stretch, but now we're wondering if the game will have a full day-and-night cycle where different things happen depending on the time of day.

"Yeah, it was hard to give up, Some things are hard to let go, Some things are never enough" — greed is a key theme in many gangster movies. And if this really is a Bonnie and Clyde-style doomed criminal romance, this line could point to that feeling of escalation as one crime leads to another and perhaps our heroes get a taste for it.

"I guess I only can hope, For maybe one more chance, To try and save my soul" — this dramatic line near the end of the song really hammers it all home. Lucia is the core of the story, and her life of crime could have some kind of noble purpose behind it, but what will become of her soul as she travels down this dangerous path? We'll have to wait and play the game to find out, of course.

Hidden meanings in Trailer 2

Now with Trailer 2, the song that underscores much of the trailer is Hot Together by The Pointer Sisters. With much of Trailer 2 looking like it's from early in the game, this is no doubt highlighting Jason and Lucia's renewed relationship after having been apart.

While the lyrics are great, it does repeat itself a lot, and so it doesn't feel quite as nuanced in that sense as Trailer 1, but much more is shown in Trailer 2, meaning it's not really left to our imagination, but there are a few things to note.

"We could be so hot together" — the emphasis being on "could". With Lucia being the "best or worst thing to happen" to Jason, this feels slightly ominous.

"We happened to be at the same party [...] We left it up to chance" — we still don't know how Lucia or Jason met, and it could imply they met at an actual party, or as part of a gang of crooks on the job.

"The way we moved with each other [...] We could dance this dance forever" — did they meet dancing together at the club, or did the job they worked on together go so well? Every relationship needs good chemistry when it comes to heists after all...

Full lyrics for the GTA 6 trailer songs

Below are the lyrics for each song featured in GTA 6 Trailer 1 and Trailer 2.

Love Is a Long Road lyrics

There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be

Yeah, we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road

There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon

And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road

Yeah, it was hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Some things are never enough
I guess I only can hope
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is a long, long road

Love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is long, long road, oh

Love,
Oh, it's a long, long road

Hot Together lyrics

We could be so hot together, hot togetherWe could be so hot together, together

We happened to be at the same partyWe left it up to chanceI'm remembering the time you kissed meNow you're asking me to danceThe way we moved with each otherWe could dance this dance forever

We could be so hot, hot togetherHot, so hot togetherWherever else you get downYou've got to free it upWe could be so hot, hot togetherSo hot togetherWe both know that it could feel good, so good

You led me through the crowded roomAnd out into the nightYou kissed me like you did beforeIn the quiet of the moonlightWe're wondering if the other's aloneAnd thinking about taking it home

We could be so hot, hot togetherHot, so hot togetherWherever else you get downYou've got to free it upWe could be so hot, hot togetherSo hot togetherWe both know that it could feel good, so good

We could be so hot together, hot togetherWe could be so hot together, togetherThe way we moved with each otherWe could dance this dance forever, forever

We could be so hot, hot togetherHot, so hot togetherYou can feel good, so goodWe could be so hot, hot togetherSo hot togetherWe both know that it could feel good, so goodWe could be so hot, hot togetherSo hot togetherWe could be so hot, hot togetherSo hot together
