Go was the fifth album by Rock Band Vertical Horizon, released in 2003 by RCA Records. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2002, but management changes at RCA led to a year delay. The first single off the album was "I'm Still Here", which had been added to the album during the delay period. All songs are sung and written by Matthew Scannell, in contrast to previous Vertical Horizon albums, where at least one song was written and sung by Keith Kane.

[edit] Background
The album's title reflects upon the "just go for it" mentality the group had during the recording sessions.[2] 16 songs were originally recorded for the album.[2] Go debuted at number 61 on the Billboard 200.[3] On June 28, 2005, Hybrid Recordings (a label under RCA Records parent BMG) re-released Go as Go 2.0.[4] The album features new cover artwork and a bonus track, "Better When You're Not There". The track list was also rearranged slightly, noted in the track listing below.
After the re-release, "Forever" and "When You Cry" were released as singles in 2005 and 2006 respectively; both charted in the Billboard Adult Top 40 charts ("Forever" at #18 and "When You Cry" at #35) and "Forever" also made the top 20 of the Billboard Hot AC chart, peaking at #17. "I'm Still Here" charted at #17 on the Adult Top 40 after its release when the original album came out in 2003.
