"Drive" is a song by American rock band Incubus. The song is released as a single from their third album Make Yourself. It is considered to be the band's biggest hit and breakthrough single, eventually reaching the top of Billboard's modern rock charts on March 3, 2001 and #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 28. The music video is based on M.C. Escher's Drawing Hands and Gerrit van Dijk's animated film I Move, So I Am (Holland, 1997) '.
The song is featured in the films Is It College Yet? and Surf's Up. It is a playable track in the North American and European versions of the video game Donkey Konga 2, it as well is featured in the game Karaoke Revolution Party and as downloadable content in the games Guitar Hero World Tour and SingStar.

The song is what is widely described as mellow, featuring mostly acoustic instruments and grounded both musically and lyrically in a very relaxing and positive ambiance.
When played live, the song is performed in a number of different ways; unplugged with Mike and Brandon, the full band with Mike playing Guitar, or the remixed version, centering around Ben Kenney's amplified and reconstructed bass melodies, with Mike playing an electric piano (as seen on the Alive at Red Rocks DVD).
The music video by Phil Harder is a simple jam session intercut with an animation of Brandon Boyd drawing himself (the beginning of which is reminiscent of Drawing Hands, a lithograph work by Dutch artist M.C. Escher). Many scenes were shot in the McNamara Alumni Center on the University of Minnesota campus and in Bairnsdale, Victoria, Australia. The music video was nominated for Best Group Video at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to 'N Sync.
