Ed Sheeran Releases New Song "Drive" from "F1" Movie Soundtrack: Stream It Now

Ed Sheeran‘s latest song “Drive” has arrived ahead of the opening of "F1: The Movie".

The F1: The Album song, produced by John Mayer and Blake Slatkin, is now available on music streaming services.

Mayer backs Sheeran on guitar on the anthemic new rock track, which also has Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl on drums, Pino Palladino on bass, Rami Jaffee on keyboards, and Slatkin on additional keyboards and drum programming to round out a notable ensemble of musicians.

Sheeran previously shared that “Drive” came together quickly in the studio with Mayer and Slatkin, recalling that “the song fell out of us” after he’d seen some of F1.

"Mayer just whacked an octave pedal on and went wild” to come up with the song’s riff", he said.

“Movies are my hobby and probably the only thing other than sport that I get, like, starstruck to be part of. Not just directors or actors or whatever, but being a part of the journey of a movie is so exciting for me,” added Sheeran, who is set to release his next studio album, "Play", in September.

"F1: The Album" will be released by Atlantic Records on June 27, when "F1: The Movie" theaters.

Besides Sheeran, the "F1" soundtrack, led by Don Toliver feat. Doja Cat’s “Lose My Mind,” also boasts a lineup that includes Rosé, Chris Stapleton, Roddy Rich, Myke Towers, Tate McRae, Burna Boy, RAYE and more.

Kevin Weaver, Atlantic’s president of the West Coast and a two-time Grammy winner most recently for "Barbie: The Album", oversaw and produced "F1: The Album" with Atlantic executive vp/co-head of pop/rock A&R Brandon Davis and senior vp of A&R and marketing Joseph Khoury.
