Wang is continuing with his '80s-inspired theme not just with the look of his video but sonically as well. The new song samples legendary new wave band The Cars' 1984 single "Drive." And while hip-hop beats prominently run throughout the track, it also incorporates a guitar-forward melody.

The video was scripted, directed, and produced by the artist alongside filmmaker Mamesjao. It shows a night happening in reverse, opening up with mysterious scenes featuring a bloody and injured Wang. The plotline ingeniously reveals itself as you near the end of the four-minute visual stunner.

And while Wang is typically open about the meaning behind his work, he wants to leave this up to his fans to figure out. He said in a statement, "I've always explained my music videos, the backstory and the plot, to my audiences. But with this visual, 10 people can watch it and have 10 different feelings. I can't wait for the fans to interpret it."

"Drive You Home" is the second single Wang has dropped ahead of the full project — his second solo album — which he plans on dropping this fall.
