Kiwi dance-pop powerhouse LOVETA returns with her highly anticipated second single ‘Drive’ – a fresh and uplifting electro-pop tune, perfect for the dance floor, and a must for your summer road trip playlist.
The exciting follow up to her soulful nu-disco inspired anthem ‘More Than Fun’, ‘Drive’ signals a transition into a different side of LOVETA’s artistry, complete with her signature vibrant vocals, an infectious beat, and an upbeat and carefree energy.
“The song is about coming out of a period of feeling stuck and chasing what makes you feel happy, alive, and connected,” says LOVETA. “I wrote Drive in lockdown last year when I was feeling restricted and confined at home, as well as in my own headspace.
Being isolated from friends and loved ones was tough, and I found myself searching for a new perspective on the situation. I was inspired by the feeling of getting away and traveling somewhere new, where all of life’s worries just melt away.”
With lyrics such as “I’m ready baby, take me somewhere new, Don’t need anybody else but us two. Summer feeling and the sky so blue, Just say the word and I will follow you, anywhere” – the track evokes a feeling of freedom and optimism, and the joy of taking a much needed vacation with the one you love.
Drive is brought to life with an equally as sparkling visualizer. Based around a gorgeous vintage car, it has dreamy effects, bright colors, and a carefree, well-styled, summer LOVETA enjoying the sunshine.
“We captured it in dreamy slow motion, as a contrast to the energetic beat and bass-line of the song, to create the idea of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Everything just flows and is bright and easy, just like the vibe of the song!”

For ‘Drive’ LOVETA has once again teamed with fellow Kiwi musician/producer Wulfie, with previous collaborations including their 2021 electronic love ballad Love Won’t Run Away, as well as the feel-good tune More Than Fun.
With her debut EP due to be released later in 2022, LOVETA is proving to be one to keep a close eye on!
