GTA 6 trailer song: every confirmed track, by trailer

The short answer

Rockstar has confirmed one trailer song directly, and press outlets have identified the rest by ear. Trailer 1 uses Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road.” Trailer 2 leads with The Pointer Sisters’ “Hot Together,” plus three short radio snippets. The Netflix Extended Look adds thirteen more tracks across its 26 minutes. None of this is an official Rockstar tracklist, so it is presented here with each source named.

Why “confirmed” needs a careful definition here

Rockstar has not published an official soundtrack list for GTA 6. That means every song below falls into one of two categories, and this page keeps them separate.

• Officially confirmed. The Trailer 1 song was confirmed by Tom Petty’s own official website, which counts as a primary source since it comes directly from the rights holder, not a guess by a journalist.
• Press reported. Every other song on this page was identified by a music or gaming outlet listening closely to the trailer or the Extended Look and matching the audio to a known track. This is common and usually reliable, but it is not the same as Rockstar publishing its own tracklist.

Both categories are useful. Neither should be mistaken for the other.

Trailer 1, December 2023

Trailer 1 uses a single song for its entire runtime.

Song	Artist	Year	Status
Love Is a Long Road	Tom Petty	1989	Officially confirmed

“Love Is a Long Road” comes from Tom Petty’s 1989 solo debut album, Full Moon Fever. Tom Petty’s official site posted about the placement on the same day the trailer released, noting that it followed his earlier appearance in GTA: San Andreas with “Runnin’ Down a Dream.” The song’s lyrics about doing right on a long road fit the trailer’s tone, and Spotify reported streams of the track rose by roughly 36,979 percent in the week after the trailer went live.

Trailer 2, May 2026

Trailer 2, released 6 May 2026, uses one lead song for most of its runtime, plus three short radio snippets during a single driving scene. All four were identified by NME, not confirmed directly by Rockstar or the artists.

Song	Artist	Year	Role in the trailer	Status
Hot Together	The Pointer Sisters	1986	Leads most of the trailer’s runtime	Press reported
Everybody Have Fun Tonight	Wang Chung	1986	Brief radio snippet during a driving scene	Press reported
Child Support	Zenglen with 5 Etwal	2004	Brief radio snippet during a driving scene	Press reported
Talkin’ to Myself Again	Tammy Wynette	1987	Brief radio snippet during a driving scene	Press reported

“Hot Together” underscores a montage that introduces both protagonists, covering romance, a gunfight, and a helicopter chase through Leonida. NME placed it starting around the 1:04 mark. The three radio snippets play only for a few seconds each as protagonist Jason drives, and NME noted the Zenglen and 5 Etwal track reflects Florida’s real-world Haitian community, which fits Leonida’s Florida-inspired setting.

The Netflix Extended Look, August 2026

The Netflix Extended Look is a 26-minute gameplay preview that premiered on 27 August 2026, built from PlayStation 5 footage. It is longer than either trailer and carries far more music. GameRant catalogued every song with a timestamp. None of these are officially confirmed by Rockstar, so all are listed as press reported.

Song	Artist	Year	Scene	Status
Pop Bottles	Birdman featuring Lil Wayne	2007	Jason and Lucia approaching a drug den	Press reported
Pound Town	Sexyy Red and Tay Keith	2023	Entering a drug den building	Press reported
Skrilla	Kodak Black	year disputed across sources	Exiting an elevator into a hallway	Press reported
Let Your Love Flow	The Bellamy Brothers	1976	Lucia jumps to street level as Jason carjacks a car	Press reported
Love Bites	Def Leppard	1987	Inside Jason and Lucia’s apartment	Press reported
People Are People	Depeche Mode	1984	Leaving the apartment, playing on the car radio	Press reported

Se Me Nota (Agarrame)	Chimbala and Omega	2021	Picking up Andres de Leon from an airport runway	Press reported
Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)	Phil Collins	1984	Inside the MegaMundo building	Press reported
Mine O’ Mine	Aluna and Jayda G	2022	Walking to meet a character named Andres	Press reported
Inner Light	Elderbrook and Bob Moses	2021	Closing shots and the final monologue	Press reported

This is a wide spread of genres in a short amount of footage, from 1970s soft rock and glam metal to modern dembow and house music. That range says more about the tone Rockstar is going for than any single genre would.

What this tells you about GTA 6’s music direction

Even without an official tracklist, a pattern shows up across all three pieces of footage. GTA 6 leans on real songs from real decades, mostly the 1970s through the 2020s, rather than only recent chart hits. Trailer 1 and much of the Extended Look favour older tracks with an emotional or nostalgic pull, while the driving and action scenes lean on faster, more upbeat music. That mirrors how past GTA games have used licensed music, mixing eras rather than sticking to one.

What is still not known

• No official Rockstar soundtrack or tracklist has been published.
• No confirmation of in-game radio stations or their lineups.
• No confirmation of a third trailer, so there is nothing to say about music in footage that does not exist yet.
• The exact original release year for “Skrilla” by Kodak Black is inconsistent across music databases, so it is not stated as a fixed fact here.

How this page stays honest

Every song above is either confirmed by the artist’s own channel or traced to a named press outlet that watched the footage and documented a timestamp. No song appears on this page unless one of those two things is true. If Rockstar publishes an official soundtrack list, or a third trailer arrives with new music, this page will be updated to match.
