Ookay and Linney release “Drive Away Slow,” a breakup ballad blending emotional lyrics with upbeat dance-pop production.
Dynamic collaborators Ookay and Linney have teamed up to deliver the heartfelt single “Drive Away Slow,” now available on Dim Mak. The breakup anthem is a perfect fusion of emotional songwriting, airy vocals, and immersive dance-pop production, showcasing a softer side to Ookay’s artistry.
“Drive Away Slow” captures the bittersweet emotions of heartbreak with a mix of lyrical driving metaphors and an upbeat melody. Linney’s ethereal vocal delivery shines on lines like, “Break my heart fast and drive away slow. I want you to remember how much you’ll miss me.” Ookay complements this with vibrant yet tender production that keeps the mood introspective while maintaining its pop sensibilities.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Linney shares: “‘Drive Away Slow’ is the ultimate breakup anthem. We made sure to include as many driving metaphors as we could lyrically. They’re playing our song on the radio … will you think of me now? Look me in the eyes when I let you go, but would you drive away, drive away slow?” 
Ookay adds: “Just to echo what Linney said, this is the ultimate breakup song but in such an upbeat way! We know there’s definitely people that can relate to the lyrics.”
