Here’s a guide to the official soundtrack of Fast & Furious 6. It’s almost hard to track how The Fast And The Furious – a modestly-budgeted street racer action flick from 2001 – somehow kickstarted one of the most successful movie franchises of all time. The first movie made stars of Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Paul Walker, but only the latter returned for 2 Fast 2 Furious. The series looked like it was coming to a natural end with Tokyo Drift, which focused around a new main character. However, Diesel was convinced by the studio to make a small cameo in exchange for the rights to Riddick, but this appearance got viewers excited for his potential return.

Thus Fast & Furious reunited the key players from the original movie and proved there was plenty left in the tank. Fast Five can really be credited with the franchise’s present-day success, as it moved away from street racing and became more of a heist movie. It also introduced Dwayne Johnson’s Hobbs, who became an instant fan favorite. The series’ blend of outrageous action setpieces with a surprising amount of heart – and cheesiness – has proven to be a robust formula.

The end of Fast And Furious 6 finally tied Tokyo Drift in with the rest of the saga, introduced Jason Statham’s antihero Shaw and basically set up the ongoing soap opera with car chases that is the franchise’s current shape. The sixth movie itself took place in London, with Dom and the crew learning that Letty is still alive and working with a group of mercenaries. The sequel’s score was composed by Lucas Vidal, and here’s every song that appeared on the soundtrack.

  • We Own It – 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa
  • Ball – T.I. ft Lil Wayne
  • Con Locura – Sua ft Jiggy Drama
  • HK Superstar – MC Jin ft Daniel Wu
  • Failbait – deadmau5 ft Cypress Hill
  • Bada Bing – Benny Banks
  • Burst! (Bart B More Remix) – Peaches
  • Mister Chicken – Deluxe
  • Roll It Up – The Crystal Method
  • Here We Go / Quasar (Hybrid Remix) – Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes
  • Bandoleros – Don Omar ft Tego Calderón
  • Rest Of My Life – Ludacris ft Usher & David Guetta

If the Fast And Furious 6 ending song “Bandoleros” by Don Omar and Tego Calderón sounds familiar, there’s because it was featured in both Tokyo Drift and 2009’s Fast & Furious. In addition to featuring tracks from well-established artists like deadmau5, T.I. and, of course, franchise star Ludacris, the soundtrack’s big track is “We Own It,” a collaboration by 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa. The single sold quite well on its own, and Wiz Khalifa would return for Furious 7 for the song “See You Again” with Charlie Puth.

“See You Again” was written as a tribute to franchise star Paul Walker, who died in a car accident during a break in production on the sequel. The song became enormously popular, and its music video is one of the most-viewed ever on YouTube. The next entry in the series will be F9 which will also feature the return of Sung Kang’s Han – despite the events of Fast & Furious 6 – and after that, the main series is set to end with the eleventh installment.

It’s pronounced Paw-rick, not Pad-raig. Now that’s out of the way, a brief introduction. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he’d like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site.

A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games – he even (arguably) had a little bit of talent for it. He has written words for Den of Geek, Collider, The Irish Times and Screen Rant over the years, and can discuss anything from the MCU – where Hawkeye is clearly the best character – to the most obscure cult b-movie gem, and his hot takes often require heat resistant gloves to handle.
