In this educational Vocal Coach analysis, Beth Roars breaks down Go by The Chemical Brothers, featuring Q-Tip, the 2015 track back in the charts thanks to its unforgettable use in Netflix’s Apex, starring Taron Egerton and Charlize Theron.
Originally from The Chemical Brothers’ album Born in the Echoes (2015), this analysis looks at why the song feels so relentless in the now-viral Apex scene, where Taron Egerton’s character Ben plays “Go” as Charlize Theron’s Sasha is given a head start before being hunted. The song features Q-Tip (Kamal Fareed) and was written by him alongside the Chemical Brothers: Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. Beth explores Q-Tip’s calm, direct vocal delivery, the subtle nasality in his tone, moments of grit, the confident kick drum vs. the double-time hi-hat, playful production details and the rising synth line that builds pressure without needing to speed up.
Beth shows how the track’s sense of instinct, freedom and control is exactly what makes it so unsettling when placed against fear and pursuit. The result is a song that works because it feels empowered, and therefore terrifying in this context.
