"God Is in the Radio" sits on Songs for the Deaf, the third Queens of the Stone Age album, from 2002: a loose concept record that plays like a road trip across the California desert from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree, with the car radio pulling in stations along the way. With a title like that, the song hardly needs to ask for a place on it.

Mark Lanegan sings lead and shares the writing credit with Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri. Homme plays guitar, Oliveri plays bass on what proved to be his last album with the band, and Dave Grohl, on his first, is behind the drums. Homme produced it with Adam Kasper and Eric Valentine, and Kasper engineered and mixed it, with Joe Marlett and Kevin Szymanski assisting.
