The Song in the Trailer of Grand Theft Auto 6 Finally Revealed!
The highly anticipated trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 has finally been released, and fans can’t seem to get the song out of their heads. But what song is featured in the trailer?
The first glimpse of GTA 6 showcased breathtaking landscapes, fast cars, and intense action, all of which are expected from Rockstar’s flagship series. However, it’s the background song that has caught everyone’s attention.
If you’re wondering what that catchy tune is, don’t worry! We have the answer, and you can instantly add it to your Spotify playlist instead of listening to the same old Christmas songs on repeat.
GTA 6 Trailer Song: Love Is A Long Road by Tom Petty
The song featured in the GTA 6 trailer is “Love is a Long Road” by Tom Petty. It was released in 1989 and included in the “Full Moon Fever” album. However, in the UK, it was only released as a B-side and not as a standalone single.
In the United States, “Love Is A Long Road” reached number seven on Billboard’s Album Rock Tracks chart. It remained immensely popular and was frequently performed at Tom Petty’s concerts, although it hasn’t been played live since 2013, four years before his death in 2017.
The choice of this song in the GTA 6 trailer could be a hint about what to expect in the game’s storyline. The trailer introduces the co-protagonists, Lucia and the yet-to-be-named male lead, as love interests. However, the lyrics of “Love Is A Long Road” suggest that their journey together may face some challenges.
Tom Petty sings about things being “hard to give up” and “let go”, as well as giving “her one more chance.” Could this suggest a story where the Bonnie and Clyde-inspired pair clash and go their separate ways?
GTA 5 allowed players to choose how the story of Michael, Trevor, and Franklin would end. Therefore, we might expect a similar player choice in GTA 6 that determines the fate of the main characters.
