More details on the The Weeknd's Drive track and the Hurry Up Tomorrow movie project featuring The Weeknd
Drive’s music video embraces a dark theme. The video documents the artist’s descent into depression through a shot of him covered up to the eyeball in water in the bathtub.
The video, directed by Trey Edward Shults, juxtaposes the happy moments against the sad ones—using shots of the couple happily enjoying a Ferris wheel and another of Jenna Ortega staring mindlessly out of a moving vehicle. The MV’s foreboding and dark themes were punctuated by the song’s lyrics playing in the background:
"I don't want to waste your time/ Just wanna feel the air on my body/ And I roll the window down, don't ever think I'll be this happy/ You know I love autonomy/ 'Cause fame is a disease."
Drive’s music video shows viewers what to expect at the release of the Hurry Up Tomorrow movie on May 16, 2025. The movie, produced by LionsGate and directed by Trey Edward, stars The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The artist plays a fictional version of himself, Ortega, his love interest and Keoghan, his friend.
