Lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee said about the song:

'Driven' is just from a bass player’s point of view. I wrote that song with three tracks of bass. I brought it to Alex and said, 'Here’s the song; I did three tracks of bass, but I just did that to fill in for the guitar', and he said, 'Let’s keep it with the three basses.' So, I said, 'I love you.'[1]
