Brad Pitt Brings the Heat to F1—and So Does the Music
When you toss a Hollywood heavyweight like Brad Pitt into the world of Formula 1, you expect fireworks—but this upcoming film goes full throttle with its soundtrack lineup. Apple Original Films has pulled together a who’s-who of the music world for Pitt’s new racing movie, set in the heart of the F1 paddock. He’s joined on screen by Damson Idris, playing a fresh-faced rookie at APXGP, the story’s fictional team. The high-speed drama is amped up even more by a soundtrack that feels like a superstar playlist built for adrenaline junkies and pop fans alike.
Music drops will start hitting months ahead of the movie’s release. Don Toliver is leading the album’s charge with his single "Lose My Mind," featuring none other than Doja Cat, which hit streaming services back in April. But that’s just the warm-up lap. As the film races towards its June 27, 2025, debut, it will bring new songs from Ed Sheeran, dance music hitmaker Dom Dolla, global sensation Burna Boy, rock-country powerhouse Chris Stapleton, viral pop star Tate McRae, Blackpink’s ROSÉ, hip hop heavyweight Roddy Ricch, EDM legend Tiësto, and fast-rising electronic producer Peggy Gou.
A Soundtrack That Matches the Film’s High-Octane Energy
The team behind the film has made the soundtrack as much of a headliner as the script or special effects. There’s something electrifying about hearing a blend of chart-topping voices paired with visual racing sequences—think Ed Sheeran crooning over final laps or Dom Dolla’s signature grooves pulsing under a pit stop. These aren’t just background tunes; the music is expected to play a front-and-center role in the movie’s emotional moments and most dramatic race scenes.
If you’re picturing the film as "Drive to Survive" on a Hollywood budget, you wouldn’t be far off. Pitt, no stranger to blockbuster action, is stepping into the racing genre at a time when Formula 1 is seeing a massive surge in global popularity. The music choices reflect this energy—tracks built for speed, $100 million cars, and the emotional highs and lows found at 200 mph. And with Ed Sheeran lending new music to the project, expect both the score and soundtrack to hit streaming charts as hard as the box office.
Fans can already pre-add the album on Apple Music, counting down to a sonic experience that looks to transcend traditional film soundtracks. The inclusion of electronic artists alongside pop and hip hop’s top talents hints at a record that’s as diverse as it is grand—whether you’re a fan of catchy hooks, pounding beats, or show-stopping vocals, this record plans to cover all tracks.
So fueled by Hollywood A-listers both on screen and behind the mic, Pitt’s F1 project has set a course to be one of 2025’s most anticipated entertainment releases—not just for movie lovers, but for anyone with a playlist ready for life in the fast lane.
