A 7-inch single with "After the War" as the B-side was issued in the United States and the United Kingdom in November 1985 by Geffen Records. Additionally, remix and instrumental versions made by keyboard player Geoff Downes were issued as a 12-inch single in the United Kingdom. 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. 'Cash Box' praised the "airtight arrangement and musicianship" but said that it is "hard driving yet unadventurous." 'Billboard' called it a "massive and mighty record."
