"Driven by You" is a song by Queen's lead guitarist Brian May. It was written as part of his 1992 solo album, Back to the Light. It was released as a single in late 1991, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart and #9 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart.^[1]

Versions

Besides the original album/single version, there are additional studio versions of the song. There is an instrumental remix of the song, called "Driven by You Two" released as b-side to "Resurrection" single. The other known version of this song is a remix featuring new drum track from Cozy Powell. It was released as b-side to "Too Much Love Will Kill You" single and as a bonus track on the US release of Back to the Light. Additionally, there is a Ford advertisement version.

Promotion

Shortly before releasing it as single, May played it on the Guitar Legends concert in October 1991, having a super-group backing him: Cozy Powell on drums, Neil Murray on bass, Steve Vai on rhythm guitar, Rick Wakeman and Mike Moran on keyboards, Maggie Ryder, Miriam Stockley and Chris Thompson on backing vocals.

Uses in Media

It was used by the Ford Motor Company in advertisements for the whole of the Ford range and included World Rally Championship footage of the Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth Rally Car. It was then used at a later date in an edited version for the launch of the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, in which the Ford Sierra Sapphire Rally car was replaced by the Ford Escort RS Cosworth. In this ad, Miki Biasion (a Ford rally driver at the time) compared his rally car to the road-going version.
