"Go" is the second single from Born in the Echoes, the Chemical Brothers' eighth studio album, and in 2015 it found Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons handing the mic to Q-Tip. The three wrote it together, the duo produced it themselves, and the supporting cast is lean: Mark Ralph on bass guitar and Yolanda on background vocals. It's a strutting, relentless slab of electronica built to make a room move on command.
Michel Gondry directed the video, which sends seven women in vintage sci-fi costume marching through the brutalist landscape of Paris's Front de Seine district. The single stalled at 46 in the UK at first, but the song got a second life: after it turned up in the 2026 film Apex it climbed to 4, the duo's first top-ten hit in 21 years.
