Lyrics
I knew it had to be you Fill me with your love When I thought all was lost You said "come take my hand" Take you for a drive, drivin' in my open car The wind blowing in our hair Living life without a care Baby you're so real, baby so strong I know we can't go wrong We're drivin' in your car We have never gone this far Now the time has come for us To spend the night together now Drivin' in your car You come straight into my heart Soon I will be yours And we'll spend tonight together We're drivin' in your car Who knew we would come this far I can't wait for us to spend the whole Night together now You drive me in your car Nothing can keep us apart I know you and me will be Always be forever more
Song Connections/Remixes
- A downbeat remix of Drivin' by Yu Takami, titled Drivin' (undulated mix), appears on the 'V-RARE SOUNDTRACKS 8: beatmania IIDX 8th style CD.
Trivia
- Drivin' marks Paula Terry's first original beatmania IIDX song.
- Drivin' features VJ GYO's characters Mika, Yuri, and Akane in the video.
- According to NAOKI, Drivin' was originally to be titled in Japanese and sung in Japanese to go with the other songs in 8th style he named/were sung in Japanese (蒼い衝動 and 桜), as well as the difficulty of writing English lyrics for his songs (a possible reference to him writing the lyrics to D2R earlier that year). It was through trial and error with Paula Terry that the song was finished.
- VJ GYO also notes that the video for Drivin' was made based off the instrumental version of the song, before the lyrics were wrapped up or even the name of the song was known, possibly due to NAOKI's difficulty when working on the song.
- A new banner showing Drivin' appears in the manual for DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4, despite not being in the game.
