"Drive" came from Make Yourself, the Incubus album that arrived in October 1999. Scott Litt produced the song, and Epic and Immortal sent it out as the record's third single in November 2000, and it became the band's breakthrough and biggest hit. This is the song as the band played it live at HFStival.
Brandon Boyd has said the words are about fear: about letting it steer a whole life and every choice in it, and about picturing how things might go if you stopped. It topped the Modern Rock Tracks chart in March 2001, reached number nine on the Hot 100 that July and was named Modern Rock Single of the Year at the 2001 Billboard Music Awards. Sean Adams of Drowned in Sound gave it 8 out of 10, hearing something close to a rock ballad set apart by little samples and scratches and by Boyd's voice.
