"Go with the Flow" is a song by Queens of the Stone Age from the album Songs for the Deaf, released as a single in 2003. At the 46th Grammy Awards, the song was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance.
The music video for the song was filmed in England by Shynola. At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, it won Best Special Effects and was nominated for Best Art Direction. The video—rendered in black, white, and red—features the band performing at the back of a Chevrolet pickup truck driving through a desert highway. The video also has sexual themes such as a metaphor of two cars colliding with each other, symbolizing intercourse, and an image of a bident showing some erotic attributes.
The song is featured in the video games Freestyle Street Soccer, Juiced 2, Gran Turismo 4, Asphalt 8: Airborne and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge. Röyksopp's remix is featured in ATV Offroad Fury 4. It appears in SingStar Rocks!, SingStar Amped, Rock Band and Rocksmith as a playable track.
The 12" is pressed on clear vinyl.
