"Driven" is a song by Canadian rock band Rush from their 1996 album Test for Echo. It was the third of five singles released from the album and reached No. 3 on the US Mainstream Rock chart.

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]

Live performances[]

When played live, the song often includes a bass solo by Geddy Lee, as heard on the live albums Different Stages and Rush in Rio. The song has been played live by Rush 135 times.[2]
