“Fast X” Brings Together Jimin, Kodak Black, NLE Choppa, Muni Long, and Jvke For “Angel Pt. 1”
When it comes to movie soundtracks, the Fast & Furious franchise excels. Over 22 years and 10 movies, the franchise has produced countless musical hits tied to its films. From classics like “2 Fast 2 Furious”‘s “Act a Fool” by Ludacris and “Fast & Furious”‘s “Blanco” by Pitbull and Pharrell to the more emotional offerings like “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth from “Furious 7,” there’s a Fast & Furious franchise hit for fans of any musical genre. Now, it looks like the franchise’s newest addition, “Fast X,” will add yet another hit to its music history.
On May 9, it was announced via the official The Fast Saga Twitter account that the next single off the movie’s official soundtrack is called “Angel Pt. 1,” and it features a lineup of musical artists from all different corners of the music industry: NLE Choppa, Kodak Black, BTS’s Jimin, Jvke, and Muni Long.
“Angel Pt. 1” follows the release of three other original tracks off the “Fast X” soundtrack: “Let’s Ride” by YG, Ty Dolla $ign, and Lambo4oe; “Won’t Back Down” by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Bailey Zimmerman, and Dermot Kennedy; and “Gasolina (Safari Riot Remix)” by Daddy Yankee, Myke Towers, and Safari Riot. However, “Angel Pt. 1” will be the first track off the album to get the proper music video treatment.

“Fast X”‘s “Angel Pt. 1” Lyrics
Based on the snippets of “Angel Pt. 1” shared so far, the song’s lyrics are as follows:
CHORUS (Jvke)
Angel, don’t fly so close to me
I’ll pull you down eventually
You don’t wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
(Jimin)
Angel, don’t fly so close to me
I’m what you want, not what you need
You don’t wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
VERSE 1 (Kodak Black)
I’d give it all up to ease your pain, I would do that all day
I’d step back from the game and keep you out of harm’s way
Would risk it all for the game, but it take more than one person
Two people, one ’til I feel the same way you hurtin’
I was still in middle school when Givens had flipped the whip
Bodies was droppin’ before we ever knew ’bout the drip
We gon’ be family no matter what way this go, bruh
From the ugly corner where everybody betray each other
[PORTIONS UNRELEASED]
CHORUS (Muni Long)
Angel, don’t fly so close to me
I’ll pull you down eventually
You don’t wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
(Muni Long and Jimin)
Angel, don’t fly so close to me
I’m what you want, not what you need
You don’t wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
