The album was designed to match the emotional and visual beats of the film with standout contributions from Ed Sheeran’s, “Drive”, a gritty guitar driven anthem co-written with John Mayer capturing the thrill of escape and reinvention. Rose, “Messy”, a sweeping pop-rock ballad that channels vulnerability as well as cinematic grandeur. Tate McRae, “Just keep watching”, a hypnotic high-gloss track that blends seduction and control with racing inspired rhythm. Burna Boy, “Don’t let me drown”, a soulful percussive track that adds emotional weight and Afrobeats flair.
Kicks off with Don Toliver and Doja Cat’s “Lose my mind”, a synth-heavy, swaggering banger that sets the tone for the film’s high-stakes energy. Its pulsing beat and confident delivery make it a perfect sonic match for the opening sequence of F1: The Movie. The album features artists from five continents, including Roddy Ricch, Chris Stapleton and RAYE (North America/ Europe). Myke Towers, Tiesto & Sexyy Red, Peggy Gou, Mr Eazi, Darkoo and Obongjayar (Latin America/ Europe/ Africa/ Asia). This international lineup reflects F1’s global fanbase and the sport’s cultural crossover appeal.
Ed Sheeran’s “Drive” roars with blues rock urgency pairing gritty guitar riffs with cinematic vocals that echo the film’s themes of reinvention and escape. Roddy Ricch’s “Underdog” delivers a defiant, high energy anthem that channels the mindset of a driver clawing through the midfield. Released as a promotional single, it’s been praised for its lyrical bite and raw momentum. RAYE’s “Grandma calls the boy bad news” adds a retro-soul twist, offering emotional depth and storytelling that contrasts beautifully with the album’s high-octane moments. Peggy Gou’s “D.A.N.C.E.” injects club ready energy with her signature blend of house and techno giving the album a global, late-night pulse.
Dom Dolla’s “No room for a saint” while sleek in production, lacks the narrative punch of the album’s stronger entries. It feels more a pit lane interlude than a podium contender. Tiesto & Sexyy Red’s “OMG!” brings festival energy but veers into formulaic territory, offering flash without much substance. Despite a few filler laps, the album maintains a tight thematic arc from the swaggering opener “Lose my mind” to the emotional apex of “Messy” and the closing intensity of “Gasoline.” The diversity of artists from five continents reflects F1’s global grid while the production ensures a polished, immersive experience.
