Singles

The second single "Capital Letters" performed by Hailee Steinfeld and BloodPop was released on January 12. The third single "Heaven", performed by Julia Michaelswas released on January 26.

Critical reception

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." 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.

Commercial performance

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. 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.
