Fast X (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack to the 2023 film Fast X. The soundtrack was released by the independent record label Artist Partner Group on the same day as the film's release, May 19, 2023, and featured 21 tracks consisting an array of genres and artists. The album was preceded by five singles: "Let's Ride", "Gasolina", "Won't Back Down", "Toretto" and "Angel Pt. 1".

Background and release[edit]

The first single "Let's Ride" was released on February 10, 2023.[1] The single is performed by YG, Ty Dolla Sign and Lambo4oe.[2] It was dubbed as the "trailer anthem" as the music sampled "Notorious Thugs" by the Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony from the former's album Life After Death (1997), whose orchestral version was featured in the trailer.[3] The song also featured an extended three-minute version and a drift phonk cover by SXMPRA.[2] A "Safari Riot" remix of Daddy Yankee's 2004 hit single "Gasolina" by Myke Towers (also featured in the film's second trailer) was released on April 19, as the album's second single.[4][5]

"Won't Back Down" performed by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Bailey Zimmerman and Dermot Kennedy was released as the third single from the album on May 4, 2023.[6][7] "Toretto" performed by J Balvin was released as the fourth single on May 12, accompanied by a music video featuring Vin Diesel.[8][9] Jimin, JVKE and Muni Long performed the fifth single "Angel Pt. 1" with Kodak Black and NLE Choppa,[10][11] released on May 18, 2023, a day before the film's release.[12]

The track list was released on May 13, 2023, featuring contributions from Kai Cenat, Lil Durk, EST Gee, G Herbo, 24kGoldn, Kane Brown amongst several others.[13][14] The soundtrack was released on May 19, 2023 by Artist Partner Group being the first soundtrack from the Fast & Furious franchise since Fast & Furious 6 (2013), not to be distributed by Atlantic Records which published all of the franchise's soundtracks since Furious 7 (2015).[15]

Fast X (Original Motion Picture Score) is the film score album, featuring the original music composed by Brian Tyler, who called it as his "most complex" score in the franchise.[28] As he described the antagonist Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa) as "relatable" and "charming",[29] for his theme, he used high strings such as the harp, and bass music with modern instruments as "it gives you this feeling that you can’t look away. There’s a sense [in his music] of empathizing with him, and why he becomes this villain."[30] He also used an odd chord, describing it as "every time it happens and cycles around, that chord goes inside your brain to understand where the music is supposed to go. It’s like a dopamine hit, that’s different and reminds you there’s something off about him."[30] The score was released by Back Lot Music on June 2, 2023.[31]
