Ed Sheeran Releases New Single and Music Video, "Drive"

Ed Sheeran has released a brand new song and music video titled “Drive”. The track was made specifically for the forthcoming F1 film starring Brad Pitt, which is due out this Friday, June 27th, 2025. With the song announcement, Sheeran wrote the following:

“I got asked to do a song for the F1 movie. I knew that I wanted to make a proper rock song for it, a proper driving song. Something you’d wanna turn up to the fullest amount whilst driving. I wrote it in the studio with Blake Slatkin and John Mayer, then we got Pino Palladino and Dave Grohl to be the final jigsaw pieces of the song. Pure dream team for the genre of rock, and I really feel what we created fits the scene in the movie so well. I LOVE making songs for movies, ever since I did I See Fire for The Hobbit. It really lets me as a movie fan, behind the curtain, help create the perfect song for a scene in a movie. Movies and art are the only hobbies outside of music I really have, and I love my time at the F1 whenever I get to go play there. So this was like a match made in heaven. I'm so honoured to work with such great musicians on it, and hope you guys love the end result. Drive out now – Ed x”
