Burna Boy Drops “Don’t Let Me Drown” F1 Movie Soundtrack.

Burna Boy, a Nigerian music singer, has released his evocative tune, Don’t Let Me Drown, which appears on the official soundtrack for F1 The Movie, which debuted earlier today. Part of the 17-track F1 The Album, published alongside the Apple Original Film starring Brad Pitt, the single adds a distinct Afrofusion and soul vibe to the collection, alongside songs from Doja Cat, Roddy Ricch, and Darkoo. Produced with a haunting combination of orchestral strings and delicate percussion, it tells a story of fragility and resilience that mirrors the emotional costs of the racing world.

Fans have quickly noted its potential as a mood-setting track when samples were uploaded on social media, sparking interest. Don’t Let Me Drown, which is connected to the movie’s U.S. debut on the weekend of the Austrian Grand Prix, combines Burna Boy’s African heritage with a worldwide sound and blends in perfectly with the soundtrack’s varied selection. The song draws listeners into a soul-stirring journey that transcends the racetrack and is currently accessible on all major streaming platforms.

Don’t Let Me Drown begins with ethereal tones, creating a mystical atmosphere as Burna Boy’s voice flows with lyrics such as “Nights like these, there’s something mystical about nights like these,” alluding to inner conflicts. The chorus, with its raw: “Don’t let me down, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, don’t let me drown,” creates a sense of finding fortitude in the face of pressure, echoing the film’s depiction of drivers facing hardships. The production’s epic strings juxtapose the race’s excitement with a human touch, making it a standout track on the album.
