Atlantic Records unveils a global artist lineup for the Formula 1-inspired blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, with music dropping alongside the film in June.
The engines are roaring, and the speakers are ready to blow. Atlantic Records has officially announced the full artist lineup for F1: The Album, the upcoming soundtrack to the highly anticipated Brad Pitt-starring Formula 1 film F1. Set to release on June 27, the same day the movie hits theaters, the album features an eclectic mix of global superstars that mirrors the sport’s international reach.
Leading the pack are Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ of BLACKPINK, Burna Boy, Tate McRae, RAYE, and Don Toliver featuring Doja Cat, whose single “Lose My Mind” launched just one day before the soundtrack’s official announcement. With Ryan Tedder, Kevin Weaver, and Hans Zimmer involved in production, the album isn’t just a background playlist—it’s an immersive musical journey built to reflect the movie’s emotional stakes and high-speed thrills.
Formula 1 Meets Pop Culture: An All-Star Soundtrack
Announced on May 1, F1: The Album is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious film soundtracks of 2025. The project brings together artists from pop, hip-hop, R&B, country, electronic, and K-pop, truly capturing the global essence of Formula 1. Alongside the aforementioned headliners, the soundtrack will also feature Chris Stapleton, Roddy Ricch, Dom Dolla, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, and Peggy Gou.
This diverse lineup was curated to reflect the emotional and geographic range of the film, which spans various circuits and storylines. Whether it’s Sheeran’s storytelling, ROSÉ’s powerful vocals, or Burna Boy’s Afrofusion energy, the artists contribute different textures and rhythms that align with the themes of speed, redemption, and ambition in F1.
The lead single “Lose My Mind” by Don Toliver and Doja Cat already hints at the album’s big sound. The track, produced by Ryan Tedder, samples Hans Zimmer’s “F1 Movie Theme” and blends cinematic orchestration with contemporary beats—perfectly setting the tone for what’s to come.
The Film: Brad Pitt Returns to the Track
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, best known for Top Gun: Maverick, F1 stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 driver whose career ended prematurely due to a devastating injury. Decades later, Hayes returns to the circuit to help an old friend, Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), revive his struggling team, Apex Grand Prix.
Also in the mix is rising star Damson Idris, who plays Joshua Pearce, a young hotshot driver determined to carve his own path in the racing world. The movie combines real racing sequences—filmed with actual F1 involvement—and emotional depth, capturing the internal and external battles of those who risk it all at 200 mph.
Grammy Power Behind the Scenes
The album’s production is being led by Kevin Weaver, a two-time Grammy winner and the music executive behind major soundtracks like The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad, Barbie, and Daisy Jones & The Six. He’s known for crafting cohesive soundtracks that function as standalone experiences—albums that are just as powerful without the visuals.
Weaver is joined by Brandon Davis and Joseph Khoury of Atlantic Records, both of whom have experience delivering commercially successful and critically acclaimed music projects. Together, the trio aims to elevate F1: The Album beyond just a collection of songs—it’s a curated soundscape that mirrors the highs, lows, and adrenaline of the movie.
Music and Motorsport: A Global Match
Formula 1 isn’t just a sport—it’s a global phenomenon with fans from London to Lagos, Seoul to São Paulo. The album reflects this international appeal, combining musical voices from across continents. Whether it’s ROSÉ representing K-pop, Burna Boy bringing Afrobeat energy, or Peggy Gou’s electronic flair, the soundtrack ensures there’s something for everyone.
This international flair also ties in with the film’s narrative, which involves multiple racing circuits and team rivalries from around the world. The music, much like the movie, promises to go beyond borders.
What to Expect on June 27
With the full soundtrack and movie releasing on June 27, fans can expect a multimedia experience that appeals to both moviegoers and music lovers. More singles may be released ahead of the date, accompanied by music videos or behind-the-scenes footage from the film’s production.
Considering the lineup and promotional momentum, F1: The Album has the potential to chart globally. Streaming platforms are expected to highlight the album heavily, and TikTok or Instagram trends using the songs are likely to follow.
The Finish Line
Whether you’re a Formula 1 superfan, a lover of global music, or just here for Brad Pitt, F1: The Album is shaping up to be a soundtrack event. With contributions from some of the biggest names in music and a film backed by real F1 visuals and top-tier talent, this is more than a racing movie—it’s a cross-continental pop culture moment.
So buckle up, turn up the volume, and get ready for a high-speed ride when F1 hits theaters—and playlists—this summer.
