By the Numbers
Drive is Tiësto's most pop-driven album, and its authorship reflects that: nearly every track is a guest feature, so the words come from artists like Ava Max, Tate McRae, Charli XCX, and Karol G and their topline writers, while Tiësto, as Tijs Verwest, stays on the music and production and mixes much of the record himself. He shares producing with names like Lostboy, Cirkut, and Ryan Tedder. There are no instrumentals here, making it a fully vocal pop-dance record.
Drive is the seventh studio album by Tiësto, released in 2023 and his most pop-forward record, collecting the run of crossover hits from his early-2020s reinvention. Short and single-driven, it features 'The Business', 'The Motto' with Ava Max, '10:35' with Tate McRae, and 'Hot in It' with Charli XCX, alongside collaborations with A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Black Eyed Peas, and Karol G. Tiësto produces and co-writes throughout, mixing several tracks himself, while the featured artists and topline writers supply the words. It is the clearest statement of his late-career identity as a dance producer working at the center of mainstream pop.
