Flower in a Hurricane

"Flower in a Hurricane" is a new single from French duo Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It debuted on October 15, 2026 in the GTA 6 launch trailer, came out on streaming services the same day, and will also appear on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, which releases with the game on November 19.

Justice are GTA 6's score composers#

Rockstar's launch trailer page credits the song to "original score composers Justice." Rockstar first confirmed that role on October 15: its announcement, reprinted by WorthPlaying, named Justice as composers of the game's "original dynamic score," and Stereogum reported that Rockstar unveiled them that day. Justice are Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, as Variety notes.

Their music was heard before it was credited. Rockstar's announcement says the song "follows earlier previews of Justice's music for the game," including excerpts scoring key moments of An Extended Look in August. Billboard wrote that the news confirmed online buzz that the duo was behind that music. Rockstar also promises more information on a Justice original score album, which has no date or tracklist as of October 20, 2026. Later score news is in our Original Score report.

How the music press covered it#

Six of the seven outlets below led their headlines with the score news rather than the song, and three compared it to Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing."

• Stereogum (Tom Breihan) called it "an '80s-style synth-rock anthem" whose opening riff reminded him of "Money For Nothing," and said Kevin Parker and SZA sing in harmony for most of it.
• Rolling Stone (Daniel Kreps) heard a modern take on the soundtrack of the Eighties-set GTA: Vice City, noted a "striking similarity" to "Money for Nothing," and pointed out that Mark Knopfler is not among the 11 credited songwriters.
• Billboard (Katie Bain) called it a "killer new single" with a riff "vaguely reminiscent" of the Dire Straits hit.
• Consequence (Eddie Fu) heard "swirling, driving synths and soaring vocals," and reported that Parker is credited on guitar while King Gizzard are listed as composers and lyricists.
• Pitchfork (Walden Green) called the guest list "a bonkers trifecta" and recalled that the last GTA score, in 2013, was a joint effort by the Alchemist, Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson and Oh No, mixed and synced by DJ Shadow.
• NME (Ali Shutler) and Variety (Steven J. Horowitz) stuck to the news: Justice behind the score, and the song out as both a standalone single and an album track.

The Tame Impala connection#

The song reunites Justice with Tame Impala. Their collaboration "Neverender," from Justice's 2024 album Hyperdrama, won the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording in 2025, Pitchfork notes, and Stereogum adds that the two also made "One Night/All Night" together.
