A shot of Shannon from the music video for "Drive"

The video, directed by Australian director Anthony Rose, was the third music video from Shannon Noll. The video was created as a mini-movie, with Shannon playing the part of a motor-mechanic summonded to fix an ailing black car by an obnoxious and pushy man and his seemingly long-suffering girlfriend.

The car used in the video is a 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe, a replica of the same car used in several of the "Mad Max" films.

The video was named best music video of 2004 in a readers poll conducted by Australia's TV Week magazine, and was placed at #66 in a countdown of the Top 100 music videos of all time on the television show "Video Hits".
