Ed Sheeran brings high velocity to ‘F1® THE ALBUM’ with “Drive,” featuring music legends.
Global superstar Ed Sheeran is back with a surprising twist — a roaring new single titled “Drive”, taken from F1® THE ALBUM, which releases June 27 alongside the debut of Apple Original Films’ F1® THE MOVIE.
The song brings cinematic energy to life, produced by Blake Slatkin and John Mayer, with a lineup that reads like a dream team: Mayer on guitar, Dave Grohl on drums, Pino Paladino on bass, and Rami Jaffee on keys. “Drive” pushes Sheeran into full-throttle mode, and the accompanying music video by Chris Villa ties into the movie’s theme of speed, motion, and transformation.
This latest contribution by Sheeran adds another chapter to Atlantic Records’ legacy of blockbuster soundtracks — from The Greatest Showman to Suicide Squad and Barbie The Album. F1® THE ALBUM will also feature music by RAYE, Burna Boy, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou, and others, creating a genre-blending listening experience.
The song mirrors the emotional intensity and action-packed energy that F1® fans have come to expect — mixing technical artistry with pure adrenaline.
