Chris Stapleton’s new single, “Bad As I Used To Be,” is a soulful rock song that sets the vibe for the upcoming Formula One movie titled F1. The song tells the story of someone returning with just the same amount of fire and passion as they once had, which reflects the plot of the movie. The instrumentals are a blend of soul, folk, country and rock that give the song a slight edge,e pairing well with Stapleton’s vocals.

The F1 soundtrack will also feature new music from Doja Cat, Rose, Dom Dolla, Peggy Gou, Don Toliver and many more high-profile artists. The soundtrack was curated by the producers of the Barbie album, which won many awards during its release. The movie follows an old racer, played by Brad Pitt, who enters the formula racing nearly 30 years after a near fatal accident. Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem will also star alongside Pitt.

Stapleton is a Grammy-winning country artist known for his electric live performances. He is currently in the middle of his All-American Road Show, touring North America through the summer and fall.

F1 The Movie will be released on June 25. The full soundtrack will be available on June 27. “Bas As I Used To Be” can be streamed on all major platforms.
