"You Gotta Go" comes from A Jackknife to a Swan, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' seventh studio album, released by SideOneDummy on July 9, 2002, and John Seymour ran the board: he produced it, with the band as co-producers, and engineered and mixed it too, with Matt Tahaney and Coady Brown assisting.
The album was cut in a few weeks that February, brought the band back to an indie label and turned out to be the last record they made before a four-year hiatus that ran from 2003 to 2007. The title nods both to the graceful Olympic high dive and to the death of something beautiful, though Dicky Barrett has said it didn't sit well with his mother, whose maiden name, like her own mother's, was Swan.
