The clock has started ticking for F1 The Album, an upbeat, fast-paced sonic accompaniment billed as the official accompaniment to explosive high-octane entertainment and expected to debut in tandem with the global release of the Brad Pitt-starring, Formula 1-inspired film F1 on June 27, 2025. The album unites an impressive, star-studded mix of musical titans from around the world, led by new smash hits from EDM pioneer Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou, among other artists.

The album’s first single, “Lose My Mind” by Don Toliver featuring Doja Cat, has already dropped across all streaming services and is racing up the charts. The spirit and vitality of its electrifying energy capture the adrenaline-pumping spirit of the album and the film.

A fusion of music and motorsport

The album was publicised creatively, and the marketing is what distinguishes F1: The Album. All artists participating in the soundtrack have been allegorically associated with a Formula 1 team. For example, Ed Sheeran goes with a Ferrari, ROSÉ with an Aston Martin, and Doja Cat with Red Bull Racing.

This brilliant collaboration of music and motorsport is meant to capture the essence of the film and gives additional value to the album's marketing campaign. This combination of culture and sport stirs interest not only for the fans of Formula 1, but also for the admirers of the featured singers. The album's team identifiers also improve the album's cohesive message since each artist is paired with a corresponding team that matches their image and energy.

Among the featured artists, fans are most excited about the debut of ROSÉ from BLACKPINK in a movie soundtrack. Her solo album 'Rosie' dropped in 2024 and was well-received and appreciated widely by the critics and audience. Sharing her excitement, she posted:

I am soooooo fricken excited for you all to hear my very first movie soundtrack. It’s happening!! This movie’s gonna be willldddd.

Film built for speed

Helmed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film is poised to become a blockbuster in its own right. It centres on Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a down-on-his-luck former Formula 1 driver making a comeback to the sport years after a career and identity-defining crash. Hayes’s second chance is fueled by the hope of a desperate team owner, reuniting him with upstart rookie Joshua Pearce, a role played by Damson Idris.

The film, which will release on June 25 in the UK and June 27 in North America, also co-stars Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem. The trailer already promises that the movie is going to be an emotionally devastating, high-octane thrill ride.
