"Go Insane" is the title track of Lindsey Buckingham's second solo album. Released as a single in July 1984, it became Buckingham's second top-40 hit in the United States, following "Trouble", three years earlier. "Go Insane" remains his most recent U.S. solo hit, peaking at No. 23 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the UK, the single was released in August on Mercury Records and received airplay from 20 playlists across the country by early September.

In 1985, "Go Insane" received four nominations at the 1985 MTV Video Music Awards: Most Experimental Video, Best Special Effects in a Video, Best Editing in a Video, and Best Cinematography in a Video, although it did not win any of these categories.
