Atlantic Records has raised the flag on the latest track from F1®THE ALBUM, the supercharged and star-studded musical companion to Apple Original Films’ high-octane, action-packed film F1® THE MOVIE, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick). 11x Grammy® Award-winning Chris Stapleton officially enters the race with “Bad As I Used To Be” out now. F1® THE ALBUM is available now for pre-order HERE and arrives in stores and at all online retailers on Friday, June 27th in conjunction with the theatrical release of the feature film, distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
“Bad As I Used To Be” was preceded by GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer/DJ Dom Dolla’s powerful “No Room For A Saint (ft. Nathan Nicholson),” global pop icon ROSÉ’s captivating “Messy” and the revved-up lead single “Lose My Mind” from multiplatinum Houston rapper, singer-songwriter, and Cactus Jack recording artist Don Toliver featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning, multiplatinum star Doja Cat. Marking his first-ever soundtrack release, “No Room For A Saint” was quickly praised by BILLBOARD as a “speed demon of a track…slick and muscular, giving an ‘80s vibe” in their “Best New Tracks” roundup. “Messy” was immediately met with critical acclaim, with BILLBOARD calling it “a cinematic love ballad” in their “Must-Hear Releases” column. Produced by Lostboy & Burns, the track premiered alongside an official music video starring ROSÉ and featuring F1® THE MOVIE stars Brad Pitt and Kerry Condon in exclusive footage from the film. Watch the official video that shut down the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, HERE. Produced by Ryan Tedder, the hypnotic “Lose My Mind” – which samples the “F1 Movie Theme” by the Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer – arrived alongside an equally electrifying official music video – watch HERE. Upon release, ROLLING STONE proclaimed, “With this new Don Toliver–Doja Cat joint, F1 might be gearing up for what might be the film soundtrack of the year,” and BILLBOARD described it as a “shimmering, synth-drenched club track that showcases Don Toliver’s silky melodic streak and Doja Cat’s chest-thumping rhyming.” The three singles have already amassed an impressive 100M combined global audio streams and official video views.
Dom Dolla, ROSÉ, and Don Toliver were all among the soundtrack stars who attended the recent immersive F1® THE ALBUM activation at the FORMULA 1 CRYPTO.COM MIAMI GRAND PRIX 2025. Held within a private VIP Paddock just a few feet away from the official FORMULA 1 team garages, the F1® THE ALBUM experience brought the film’s fictional racing team, APXGP, to life with a recreation of their actual garage from the movie. Pass holders enjoyed interactive games, racing simulators, movie memorabilia, and an official album preview, with visits from film and soundtrack talent including Kerry Condon, Jerry Bruckheimer, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Roddy Ricch, Myke Towers, and Burna Boy. To further celebrate the official F1® THE ALBUM announcement, the FORMULA 1 drivers’ names on their garages were replaced with those of the artists featured on the soundtrack. The unprecedented soundtrack launch also saw GRAMMY® Award-winning international icon Tiësto making FORMULA 1 history when he became the first artist ever to deliver headline performances from the bridge over the grid moments before the formation lap and from the podium after the race, capping off a truly memorable and momentous Grand Prix weekend.
From the label that brought you the award-winning, blockbuster soundtracks Barbie The Album, Twisters: The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad and more, F1® THE ALBUM will feature massive new tracks from an unprecedented lineup of superstar artists, including Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, RAYE, Burna Boy, Roddy Rich, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou and more.
