SUMMARY
- Charles Leclerc made his musical debut in 2023 by releasing a song on Spotify.
- The Monegasque has already added two more songs to his music profile.
In the middle of 2023, the YouTube channel of Formula 1 released a video of F1 drivers playing the game ‘Never Have I Ever’ during which Charles Leclerc gave the fans something to look out for.
In the video, Charles Leclerc said something that excited a lot of fans. The question asked was ‘Never have I ever recorded a song!’ To which Leclerc replied: “I am doing it now. It’s not going to be public, I mean I am just doing it for myself, I am trying to produce songs.”
it might change… 🙃

Fans got excited by the fact that Leclerc was producing songs but were disappointed that it was not available to the public. At least until April 24th when he did release a song named AUS23 (1:1). However, soon after the song was released, it was taken down by Spotify. It wasn’t until later that year that AUS23 (1:1) returned to Spotify.
What’s more, Leclerc has followed AUS (1:1) up with a couple more songs, MIA (1:2) and MON (1:3).
Did Charles Leclerc take down his song on Spotify?
A lot of fans thought that the Monagasque had taken it down himself. But in a social media post, he commented that he did not do it himself and that his team was working on it to get it back up and running.
The team is on ittttt ! 😅
Should be back soon, hopefully today. Sorryyyy 🙃— Charles Leclerc (@Charles_Leclerc) April 25, 2023
Charles Leclerc’s apology and reply made his fans elated again. They could not help but show their impatience towards waiting for the song to be back up again. Here are some of the reactions to Leclerc’s apology and his song:
you scared us, now we wait and then it‘s on repeat 😌

Charles Leclerc received a ton of praise from his fans regarding the song. Some even said he deserved a Grammy for the song, so social media was on it and they delivered in the tweet below.

A lot of fans got fooled by the video above thinking it was real. Just so there is no doubt, the above tweet is a fake video created by fans as a show of praise for AUS23 (1:1). The song has also not taken the top spot in the Hot 100 Billboard chart. For those who have not listened to it, the song is on Spotify and has already accumulated over 100,000 listeners.
What next for Leclerc?
Now when we are talking about the future of Leclerc’s career we should be more specific on whether we are talking about Formula 1 or Music.
AUS23 (1:1) was just the start of Leclerc’s new career as a musician. In 2024, he has already released two additional songs. Hence, there is no denying that we could see more albums coming in over the next few years. It is good for Leclerc that he now has something to fall back on once his career in Formula 1 is complete.
However, for now, he has a much bigger challenge ahead with Lewis Hamilton all set to join the Monegasque at Ferrari. While Leclerc will look to secure a victory or two in 2024, he will certainly look to up his game and take on the mighty seven-time world champion.
Leclerc and Co. will be looking to get back into the battle for second in the championship table. Fans will now be following both of Leclerc’s careers very closely.
