"Going Left Right" is the second single by post-punk band Department S, released on 19 June 1981 on Stiff Records.

[5] Guitarist Mike Herbage later described the song as "an aggressive, trance and beat driven track"[5] but expressed surprise at the fact that it charted at all, calling its placing "probably higher than it had any right to, really".

Vocalist Vaughn Toulouse was a bit more positive, saying, "I think 'I Want' and 'Going Left Right' are ... really representative of the band".

",[5] Mimi von Tussle of Sputnikmusic called it "always a crowd-pleaser" and "sublime",[6] while Leonard's Lair said that it "matched 'Is Vic There?'

[7] Dave Thompson of AllMusic said that it "stands among the finest songs of the entire post-punk early '80s".
