"Drive" is one of The Cars' most famous songs. It was released in 1984 as the third single from their album Heartbeat City. Although Ric Ocasek wrote the song, the lead vocal was sung by bassist Benjamin Orr, whose emotional performance helped make it a classic. It became the band's biggest international hit, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. and topping the Adult Contemporary chart.
The song is a reflective ballad about caring for someone who seems lost or struggling. Its memorable refrain—"Who's gonna drive you home tonight?"—has made it one of the defining songs of the 1980s. The music video also became iconic on MTV and featured model Paulina Porizkova, who later married Ric Ocasek.
