"Go!" started out as a flip side: Tones on Tail tucked it behind "Lions", their May 1984 single from Pop, the only studio album the English post-punk band ever made. The 12-inch carried this Club Mix, stretched to 4:33 from the short version's 2:33, and the song made its name in dance clubs first. AllMusic later hailed it as a landmark of early-'80s new wave on the dancefloor.
It eventually got a single release of its own, and it kept turning up for years afterward. Moby sampled it for his own 1990 dance hit, also called "Go", and the song landed in Grosse Pointe Blank in 1997 and in Party Monster in 2003.
