Bad Boys: Ride or Die Soundtrack Drops Lead Single: Listen

The Bad Boys are back on the beat. 

Sony Music Masterworks has released composer Lorne Balfe’s lead single from the Bad Boys: Ride or Die soundtrack album, and it remixes Mark Mancina’s iconic theme from 1995’s Bad Boys (ba-da-da-da-da-daaa!) The 15-track score doesn’t drop until June 7 — the same day the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence-starring buddy cop action-comedy hits theaters — but fans can listen to the title track, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die,” by pressing play below.

“Workingwith [producer] Jerry [Bruckheimer], [directors] Adil and Bilall is always such a pleasuregiven their creative input and love for music in general, so when I gotthe call to return as the composer on Bad Boys: Ride or Die it was a no-brainer,” Balfe said in a statement. “Mark Mancina’soriginal theme is instantly recognizable, so it was crucial to use thisas the blueprint for the score. I expand on the iconic theme by uppingthe pace in order to keep up with the action-packedsequences, and quick-witted humor that is seen throughout the film.”
