A peculiar discovery on Spotify may have just hinted at the inclusion of Anita Ward’s iconic song “Ring My Bell” in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Anita Ward’s 1979 hit, known for its catchy R&B-Disco vibes, now features the GTA 6 logo on Spotify, leading to rampant speculation among fans. This song, synonymous with the 1970s disco era, seems an unlikely choice for a trailer, given its upbeat tempo. However, it’s easy to envision it setting the atmosphere for a drive around Vice City, considering the game’s penchant for including a diverse array of tracks to complement its immersive open-world experience.
The sighting of the GTA 6 logo on Anita Ward’s Spotify page, particularly next to “Ring My Bell,” has fueled discussions online. This unexpected association between the song and the highly anticipated game has led fans to theorize about its potential role in GTA 6, whether as part of the in-game radio playlist or even featured in an upcoming trailer.
This wouldn’t be the first time “Ring My Bell” has made an appearance in Grand Theft Auto. The song was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, albeit in a reggae rendition by Blood Sisters rather than Ward’s disco version. This earlier inclusion of the song in the franchise lends credibility to the possibility of its return in GTA 6, perhaps in its more widely recognized disco form.
The speculation comes amid heightened anticipation for GTA 6, following its initial reveal trailer that showcased the game’s expansive setting and hinted at its narrative direction. The trailer, set to Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Long Road,” left fans wanting for more. Sadly for them, historical patterns suggest that Rockstar Games typically takes its time between trailer releases, so we’ll likely not get something until later in the year.
In the meantime, the unexpected Spotify discovery has added another layer of excitement and speculation for fans.
Speaking of speculation, it appears Sony is preparing to take advantage of GTA 6’s release next year by rolling out the PlayStation 5 Pro ahead of its launch.
