Ed Sheeran details making of rock song for 'F1' movie

Ed Sheeran has opened up about the making of the rock song for the F1 movie.

After dropping his latest track Drive, which is part of F1: The Album, the singer took to Instagram and explained the making of the song.

Sharing a glimpse of his song, Sheeran wrote in the caption, “i got asked to do a song for the @f1movie . 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.”

He went on to explain, "i wrote it in the studio with @blakeslatkin and @johnmayer , then we got @pino_palladino_official_ and Dave Grohl to be the final jigsaw pieces of the song."

Calling the collaboration a 'dream' the singer went on to write, "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," he continued.

"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 Sheeran concluded.

Notably, the Sapphire hitmaker’s complete F1: The Album will be released on June 27, the same day the movie will be released.
