The song is the latest from the supercharged companion album to Apple Original Films’ high-octane, action-packed F1 The Movie
Atlantic Records has raised the flag on the latest track from F1 The Album, the supercharged and star-studded musical companion to Apple Original Films’ high-octane, action-packed film F1 The Movie, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick). Chris Stapleton officially enters the race with “Bad As I Used To Be” out now. F1 The Album arrives in stores and at all online retailers on Friday, June 27th in conjunction with the theatrical release of the feature film, distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
“Bad As I Used To Be” was preceded by Grammy Award-nominated producer/DJ Dom Dolla’s powerful “No Room For A Saint” featuring Nathan Nicholson, global pop icon Rosé’s captivating “Messy” and the revved-up lead single “Lose My Mind” from multiplatinum Houston rapper, singer-songwriter, and Cactus Jack recording artist Don Toliver featuring Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum star Doja Cat. The two singles have already amassed an impressive 60 million combined global audio streams and official video views.
Dom Dolla, Rosé, and Don Toliver were all among the soundtrack stars who attended the recent immersive F1 The Album activation at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2025. Held within a private VIP Paddock just a few feet away from the official Formula 1 team garages, the F1 The Album experience brought the film’s fictional racing team, APXGP, to life with a recreation of their actual garage from the movie. Pass holders enjoyed interactive games, racing simulators, movie memorabilia, and an official album preview, with visits from film and soundtrack talent including Kerry Condon, Jerry Bruckheimer, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Roddy Ricch, Myke Towers, and Burna Boy. To further celebrate the official album announcement, the Formula 1 drivers’ names on their garages were replaced with those of the artists featured on the soundtrack. The unprecedented soundtrack launch also saw Grammy Award-winning international icon Tiësto making Formula 1 history when he became the first artist ever to deliver headline performances from the bridge over the grid moments before the formation lap and from the podium after the race, capping off a truly memorable and momentous Grand Prix weekend.
From the label that brought you the award-winning, blockbuster soundtracks Barbie The Album, Twisters: The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad and more, F1 The Album is driven by new tracks from an exhilarating lineup of superstar artists, including Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Raye, Burna Boy, Rosé, Roddy Rich, Dom Dolla, Chris Stapleton, Tiësto, Sexyy Red, Myke Towers, Madison Beer, Peggy Gou and more.
F1 The Album was produced and overseen by multi-Grammy Award Winner, seven-time Grammy Award-nominee, and Atlantic Records West Coast President, Kevin Weaver along with Atlantic Records’ EVP and Co-Head of Pop/Rock A&R, Brandon Davis and Atlantic Records’ SVP A&R/Marketing, Joseph Khoury. Weaver has produced numerous multi-platinum soundtrack projects that have amassed tens of millions of albums sold worldwide. Additional key players involved on the project include Soundtrack Album Executive Producers Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer.
From Apple Original Films, Warner Bros. Pictures and the filmmakers from Top Gun: Maverick comes the high-octane, action-packed feature film F1, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman.
Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
F1 also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and has been shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport.
