Chris Stapleton has shared the new song “Bad as I Used to Be,” which appears on the F1 film soundtrack. “Bad as I Used to Be” marks Stapleton’s first solo song since the release of his 2023 album Higher.

Stapleton’s anthem is the latest release from ‘F1 The Album’, which also features artists Tate McRae, Rosé, Don Toliver with Doja Cat, Madison Beer, Tiësto, and Sexyy Red, Roddy Ricch, and Ed Sheeran on the soundtrack for the Brad Pitt-starring racing movie.

The film F1 is directed and produced by Joseph Kosinski alongside co-executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and stars Pitt as driver Sonny Hayes, who agrees to come out of retirement to help his friend and former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) save his struggling racing team, Apex Grand Prix. His new teammate, Joshua “Noah” Pearce (Damson Idris), is a rookie upstart with all the raw talent and none of the experience, and the two will battle for the checkered flag in a cutthroat sport where no one shares a podium — much less a championship. The film is set to premiere on June 27, with the full soundtrack set to drop the same day.
