The Fast Five (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2011 action film Fast Five, directed by Justin Lin. The original score was composed by Brian Tyler, who previously scored The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) and Fast & Furious (2009). For this installment, Tyler expanded the franchise’s musical identity with a larger orchestral presence blended with Brazilian percussion and rhythmic motifs, reflecting the film’s Rio de Janeiro setting and its shift toward full-scale heist action.
The soundtrack album was released on May 3, 2011, via ABKCO Records. It contains 25 score tracks with a runtime of approximately 63 minutes, and is available digitally on major platforms including Apple Music and other streaming services. The release focuses on Brian Tyler’s original score rather than the licensed songs featured in the film.
Tyler’s music emphasizes momentum and scale. Tracks such as “Fast Five,” “The Perfect Crew,” and “Tapping In” combine driving percussion, bold brass themes, and pulsing string ostinatos to create a sense of precision and rising tension. The now-iconic franchise theme introduced earlier is further developed here, reinforcing the ensemble dynamic and marking the series’ transformation into a globe-spanning action saga.
In addition to the score, the film features several licensed tracks, most notably “Danza Kuduro” by Don Omar featuring Lucenzo, which became closely associated with the film’s finale and commercial success.
