Gretta Ray wrote "Drive" by herself, and the Australian songwriter put it out in August 2016. By October it had won her first place in the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition, which is about as strong a calling card as a new name can hope for. The song kept its place in her story, too: it became the lead single for her debut EP, Here and Now, even though that record didn't arrive until 2018.

Behind Ray's lead vocal, the credits fill out quickly. Josh Barber and Jonathan Dreyfus produced it, Nick Edin and Fraser Montgomery engineered, and Ryan Hewitt mixed it, with Will DuPerier assisting.
