Fifty Shades Freed (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack accompanying the 2018 film Fifty Shades Freed. Released on February 9, 2018 alongside the film, it features 19 tracks with three additional songs. The album was led by three singles: "For You", "Capital Letters" and "Heaven", released on January 5, 12 and 26, respectively. Two of the film's score cues composed by Danny Elfman were also included in the standard edition of the album.[1] Jamie Dornan also performed a cover of Paul McCartney's 1970 song "Maybe I'm Amazed", that was released as a bonus track from the album.[2]

Singles

[edit]

The album's first single "For You", a duet performed by Liam Payne and Rita Ora was released on January 5, 2018,[3] and its music video was unveiled three weeks later. The second single "Capital Letters" performed by Hailee Steinfeld and BloodPop was released on January 12.[4] The third single "Heaven", performed by Julia Michaelswas released on January 26.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Jon Pareles of The New York Times wrote "throughout the album, despite skillful songs from Ms. Michaels and Sia, there’s a sense of obligations being met, bases being touched. It's the bane of most sequels, and the songs in Fifty Shades Freed can’t escape it."[6] The first three singles from the album were selected as one of the best songs from the film's franchise, according to Billboard critic Nina Braca.[7]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Unlike its predecessors, the soundtrack to Freed was moderately successful; it sold nearly 58,000 units in its debut week where it was charted at number 5 on Billboard 200.[8] The music video for the single "For You", albeit being charted at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, had garnered around 50 million views in YouTube within a month.[9]
