The GTA 6 launch trailer landed this morning, and the biggest reveal was not a heist or a car chase. It was the music. Rockstar Games dropped its final big look at Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) at 9 AM Eastern and confirmed that the French duo Justice are the game's original score composers. The trailer premieres Flower in a Hurricane, a brand new Justice single featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, and the song hit streaming services the same day. Grand Theft Auto VI arrives November 19 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and searches for the game and the song are climbing fast.
Justice are scoring Grand Theft Auto VI
Rockstar put it in plain words when it posted the trailer: Flower in a Hurricane comes from original score composers Justice. The duo's own Grand Theft Auto VI page calls the song the first track from Justice's GTA VI score album, and Rockstar says more information on that score album is coming soon. There is no tracklist or release date yet, so the move right now is to sign up for score album news on that page and be first in line when preorders open.
It is a huge get. Justice came up nearly 20 years ago on the Parisian label Ed Banger Records with Waters of Nazareth and the global hit D.A.N.C.E., and their 2024 album Hyperdrama took them from a stage closing set at Coachella to an arena tour of the United States and a Grammy win for Neverender. Now they are soundtracking Vice City.
Flower in a Hurricane, the song
Flower in a Hurricane runs three minutes and 44 seconds and is out now everywhere you stream, released under exclusive license to Ed Banger Records and Because Music. Rockstar calls it a standalone single, and it will also appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album. You can listen here or play the official audio on the Justice channel.
The guest list is wild. Tame Impala is the reunion, since Kevin Parker already starred on two Hyperdrama tracks, Neverender and One Night/All Night. Add SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and you get one of the strangest, most exciting lineups any game has ever launched with.
What to buy before November 19
- The primer. Justice, Hyperdrama, double vinyl is the best way into the score before it lands, with Tame Impala on Neverender and One Night/All Night and Thundercat closing the record on The End. It is also on the duo's official store.
- The soundtrack. Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, vinyl is up for preorder now, with 34 original tracks from the game. The official album store has its own pressing on transparent magenta discs with blue splatter.
- The Kevin Parker fix. Tame Impala, Deadbeat, double vinyl is the fifth full length Tame Impala album and the club leaning one, which makes it a natural partner for Justice. Find it on the Tame Impala store too.

Why it matters
Grand Theft Auto has always been a music franchise as much as a game, and this time Rockstar handed the original score to one of the defining electronic acts of the century. With the soundtrack album, the radio stations and now a Justice score on the way, November 19 is shaping up as a record day as much as a launch day. Get the vinyl lined up now.
