Ed Sheeran races into cinematic sound with “Drive” from F1® THE ALBUM, out June 27.
Ed Sheeran accelerates into new sonic terrain with the release of “Drive,” a high-energy contribution to the upcoming F1® THE ALBUM, the official companion to Apple Original Films’ F1® THE MOVIE starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick). The track is available now via Atlantic Records, with the full album arriving June 27, aligned with the movie’s global theatrical release through Warner Bros. Pictures.
“Drive” finds Sheeran surrounded by music royalty. John Mayer brings his guitar mastery to the track while Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) lays down thundering drums. Bass legend Pino Paladino and keyboardist Rami Jaffee add depth, while production comes courtesy of Blake Slatkin and Mayer himself. The result? A pulse-pounding anthem built for both the big screen and the fast lane.
The music video, directed by Chris Villa (Post Malone, Morgan Wallen), premiered today on YouTube, enhancing the cinematic connection with high-octane visuals that match the spirit of the film.
“Drive” joins a powerhouse tracklist that includes contributions from RAYE, Burna Boy, Madison Beer, and Peggy Gou. F1® THE ALBUM follows the label’s success with recent hits like Barbie The Album and The Greatest Showman, continuing Atlantic Records’ tradition of fusing chart-topping talent with visual storytelling.
With “Drive,” Ed Sheeran once again proves his versatility — seamlessly shifting from stadium-filling ballads to racing adrenaline anthems.
