Burna Boy Set to Release Don’t Let Me Drown – Featured on the Official F1 Movie Soundtrack
Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is back with a brand-new single titled Don’t Let Me Drown, a poignant and powerful addition to the upcoming Formula 1 movie soundtrack, set to drop this Friday, June 27.
The track, which will be part of the official soundtrack for Apple Original Films’ yet-to-be-titled F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, marks another major crossover for Burna Boy, further solidifying his presence in global entertainment beyond the music stage. Known for his deeply emotive lyrics and genre-bending Afrofusion sound, Burna Boy is expected to deliver a soul-stirring performance that aligns with the film’s high-octane narrative and emotional stakes.
Remarkably, Don’t Let Me Drown is more than just another movie soundtrack placement – it’s a reflection of Burna Boy’s evolving artistry. While the full production details are still under wraps, early teasers suggest the track explores themes of vulnerability, resilience, and survival – sentiments that mirror both the intense psychological landscape of Formula 1 racing and Burna Boy’s own lyrical style.
His distinctive voice and raw delivery are perfectly suited for cinematic storytelling, and this track could potentially serve as one of the emotional anchors of the film.
Notably, this release follows a string of high-profile moments for Burna Boy, including his historic Grammy performance, sold-out international stadium tours, and collaborations with global icons across music, fashion, and film. His involvement in the F1 movie soundtrack is yet another sign of Afrobeats’ continued global ascent – and Burna Boy’s place at the forefront of that movement.
