The film takes its name from "Baby Driver," a song from the Simon & Garfunkel album Bridge over Troubled Water. The song is played during the end credits.[3][4] Edgar Wright, who wrote and directed the film, consulted James Gunn, who wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, before the release of Vol. 2 and its soundtrack to ensure the two films did not feature the same songs on their soundtracks.[5]
The soundtrack features three original tracks: a cover of the Commodores' "Easy" by Sky Ferreira; "Chase Me" by Danger Mouse (featuring Run the Jewels and Big Boi); and "Was He Slow?" by Kid Koala.[2]
The soundtrack won the Empire Award for Best Soundtrack at the 23rd Empire Awards.[6]
