The Cars 3 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features Run That Race, an original song written and performed by nine-time Grammy® winner Dan Auerbach that can be heard as the movie opens. The song is about never giving up and always trying your best, said Auerbach, who met with filmmakers prior to penning the song. They showed me the storyboards and ran through the plot. I was able to read some of the dialogue and from there I had enough to piece together a story in my mind for the song.

Auerbach will release Waiting on a Song, his second solo album, on June 2 via his new label, Easy Eye Sound.
