GTA 6 Blood In Your Eyes: The Tove Lo Song From the Pre-Load Video

The “Blood In Your Eyes” everyone is searching for is a new Tove Lo song that plays in Rockstar’s GTA 6 “Pre-Load Now” video, released on November 10, 2026. It is already out as a single on the major streaming services and is one of the 34 original tracks on Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album.

Below is everything that is actually confirmed about the track, the album, and the pre-load that the video was announcing, plus the bits that are still unknown as of November 2026.

What “Blood In Your Eyes” is

Rockstar Games identified the track itself in a post on X: “Blood In Your Eyes” by Tove Lo is featured in the Pre-Load Now video and is also on GTAVI: The Album, available on all major music streaming services. Tove Lo shared the release on her own account the same day.

A few details are worth knowing:

• Artist: Tove Lo, the Swedish pop singer best known for “Habits (Stay High)”.
• Writers: The album tracklist on Wikipedia credits Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson (Tove Lo), Ilya Salmanzadeh and Ludvig Söderberg.
• Length and position: The same listing gives it a running time of 2:41 and places it as track 22 on the album.
• Sound: NME describes it as a lively, upbeat and playful track in the style that first made her known.
• Single number: Coverage describes it as the tenth single released from the 34-track album.

The “Habits” connection

Martin Cid Magazine points out that co-writer Ludvig Söderberg is one of the two Swedish producers who co-wrote and produced “Habits (Stay High)”. Söderberg also worked with Tove Lo on her album Estrus, so this is a reunion of a long-running partnership rather than a one-off pairing.

Why it is trending now

The search spike follows directly from the video. Rockstar released the short Pre-Load Now clip on November 10 to announce that digital pre-orders could start downloading the game ahead of launch. Gaming outlets describe it as a roughly 30-second spot showing Jason and Lucia, new characters, car chases and a SWAT team. Because the clip is short and the song is the main audio, many viewers went straight to YouTube to find out what they were hearing.

Note the naming: Rockstar calls it the “Pre-Load Now” video, while many outlets call it the “pre-load trailer”. They are the same clip.

How to listen officially

You can hear the song without waiting for the game or the full album:

1. Open the music streaming service you already use (Rockstar says it is on all the major ones; it went live on Spotify on November 10).
2. Search for “Blood In Your Eyes Tove Lo”.
3. Add it to your library. When the full album releases, the track should appear there as well.
4. To see the video it comes from, use Rockstar’s official YouTube channel or social accounts rather than re-uploads, which are often cut or mislabeled.

Where it fits on GTA VI: The Album

Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album is a collection of 34 original songs made for the game. Rockstar has been revealing them gradually as singles. Other confirmed names on the album include Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Keith Richards, Cardi B, Yung Lean with Future and Metro Boomin, and Justice.

Things that are not confirmed

• Where it plays in the game. Rockstar has not said whether “Blood In Your Eyes” is on an in-game radio station, used in a story moment, or both. Wait for launch before trusting any claim.
• The exact album date. NME says the album lands the day after the game, which matches the November 20 date from Dork. Other listings suggest November 19. Rockstar’s own channels are the final word.
• The festival. Stereogum’s coverage of the single also mentions a festival announcement, and the album’s Wikipedia page describes a live show hosted by Rockstar on November 21 at Mana Wynwood in Miami with artists from the album. We have not seen enough independent detail to say more, so check Rockstar’s announcements if you are interested.

What the pre-load means for your console

Since the song arrived as part of a pre-load announcement, it is worth covering the practical side. GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the pre-load is open to digital pre-orders.

Rockstar’s official guidance is that the pre-load needs up to 212 GB, depending on your device. RockstarINTEL reports more specific figures from the rollout, which are not Rockstar’s own numbers:

These numbers can change with day-one patches, so plan for some headroom.

Making room before launch

1. Check free space in your console’s storage settings before you start the pre-load.
2. Uninstall games you are not playing; your saves usually stay in cloud or system storage, but confirm this for each game.
3. If you are on an Xbox Series S, be especially careful: it ships with a 512 GB drive, and a large share of that is reserved for the system, so the reported install size takes up a big part of what remains.
4. If you add storage, use the expansion options your console officially supports, since PS5 and Xbox Series X|S games need to run from fast internal or approved expansion storage.
5. Start the pre-load early so the download is not competing with launch-day traffic.

The short version

“Blood In Your Eyes” is Tove Lo’s contribution to Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album, co-written with longtime collaborator Ludvig Söderberg and Ilya Salmanzadeh, and it is the music in Rockstar’s November 10 Pre-Load Now video. You can stream it today. Its in-game use, the exact album date and the festival details are still open as of November 11, 2026, so expect those to firm up around the November 19 launch.
