"Go Right Ahead" was the first single Swedish rock band the Hives pulled from Lex Hives, their fifth full-length album, where it sits second in the running order. It went out as a download in April 2012, and a limited seven-inch followed for Record Store Day, though fans at the Coachella festival got an early crack at it from the Zia Records tent that month, where the band signed copies.
The Hives produced it themselves and Joe Zook mixed it, and the writing credit is shared between Randy Fitzsimmons and, of all people, Jeff Lynne. A live take of the song also landed on the Adult Swim Singles Program 2012.
