Like most of the songs from the album, "Go" was written by vocalist/bassist John Wetton and Downes. It features Mandy Meyer's prominent guitar work.
An official music video was produced and, despite it being a big MTV hit, the single only attained a peak of number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Cash Box praised the "airtight arrangement and musicianship" but said that it is "hard driving yet unadventurous."[2] Billboard called it a "massive and mighty record."[3]
