Ookay and Linney present “Drive Away Slow”, an amplified Dance Pop single showcasing emotional songwriting, stunningly airy vocals, and an immersive instrumental. The breakup ballad is soft and sweet, showing off a lighter side to Ookay’s production prowess.

Linney shares; “Drive Away Slow” is the ultimate break up anthem. Break my heart fast and drive away slow. I want you to remember how much you’ll miss me. 

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!”
