F1 The Album

Biography

F1 The Album is the official soundtrack for the 2025 American sports drama film, F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt. Released by Atlantic Records, the label behind blockbuster soundtracks for films like Barbie and The Greatest Showman, the album was conceived as a supercharged musical companion to the high-octane movie. The project was produced and overseen by Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver, along with Brandon Davis and Joseph Khoury.

Concept and Development

The vision for F1 The Album was to create a collection of original music that mirrors the global and adrenaline-fueled nature of the Formula One sport. The film's director, Joseph Kosinski, identified key musical moments within the movie's narrative. The production team then approached a diverse, international lineup of artists to create songs that would fit these scenes and concepts. Some artists were shown specific scenes for inspiration, while others were given conceptual ideas to develop tracks that would later be placed in the film. The goal was to assemble a soundtrack with the broad appeal of a major music festival, introducing new artists to a global audience and enhancing the film's storytelling.

Artists and Music

F1 The Album features 17 tracks from a wide range of globally recognized artists. The lineup includes Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Burna Boy, ROSÉ of Blackpink, Roddy Ricch, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, and Peggy Gou. The soundtrack campaign was launched with the lead single "Lose My Mind" by Don Toliver featuring Doja Cat, which samples the "F1 Movie Theme" composed by Hans Zimmer. Other pre-release singles included "No Room For A Saint" by Dom Dolla, "Messy" by ROSÉ, and "Drive" by Ed Sheeran.

Release

The album was released on June 27, 2025, coinciding with the film's theatrical release. It was made available on digital platforms, as well as on CD, vinyl, and cassette. The launch was promoted with an immersive experience at the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, where the garages of the Formula 1 teams featured the names of the soundtrack's artists instead of the drivers.
