"Shut Up and Drive" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna for her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). It was written and produced by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, and features an interpolation of the 1983 song "Blue Monday" by the British band New Order, whose members Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Gillian Gilbert received songwriting credits. Released as the album's second single, the song was solicited to United States radio stations on June 12, 2007, and was physically released on August 27, 2007 in the United Kingdom. "Shut Up and Drive" is a new wave song which heavily incorporates 1970s and 1980s musical styles. Lyrically, it contains multiple references to cars and car parts including the '57 Cadillac.

"Shut Up and Drive" was received with mixed reviews from music critics, who labeled its lyrics as fluffy and goofy. The song peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart. On the UK Singles Chart, it reached number five, becoming Rihanna's fifth top-five single. "Shut Up and Drive" peaked within the top 10 in nine other countries, including in Australia, Canada, Germany and Italy. Its accompanying music video was directed by Anthony Mandler and was shot in several places in the Czech Republic, such as airship hangar in Příbram or junkyard in Sluštice near Prague. It features Rihanna in a makeshift junkyard. Rihanna performed "Shut Up and Drive" on the Good Girl Gone Bad (2007–09), Last Girl on Earth (2010–11) and Loud (2011) concert tours.

Production and release

"Shut Up and Drive" was produced by Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, and its composition is credited to Sturken and Rogers as well as the members of New Order (Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert), whose 1983 song "Blue Monday" forms a partial basis for the song.{{cite web|url=http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300|title=ASCAP ACE Search Results: 'Shut Up and Drive'|publisher=American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers|access-date=September 2, 2011|archive-date=January 7, 2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20100107184959/http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=496165496&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1|url-status=live}} Al Hemberger recorded the song at Sunwatch in Saint James, Barbados and The Loft Recording Studios in Bronxville, New York.

The song contains an upbeat opening sequence with a heavy guitar riff. Tom Breihan from Pitchfork Media wrote that the song "begins with über-processed new wave guitars that sort of sound like the Cars".{{cite web|url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/reviews/albums/10320-good-girl-gone-bad/|title=Review: 'Good Girl Gone Bad' – Rihanna|work=Pitchfork Media|last=Breihan|first=Tom|date=June 15, 2007|access-date=September 2, 2007|archive-date=December 2, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111202004303/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/reviews/albums/10320-good-girl-gone-bad/|url-status=live}} The song's sheet music (which was published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing) shows that "Shut Up and Drive" is written in the key of E major in common time with a moderately fast groove.{{cite AV media notes|title=Shut Up and Drive|author=Rihanna|year=2007|type=Digital Sheet Music|publisher=Musicnotes.com}} Rihanna's vocal range spans from the low note of F{{music|sharp}}3 to the high note of B4 and the song follows a chord progression of E–B–C{{music|sharp}}–F{{music|sharp}}–B–C{{music|sharp}}.

Critical reception

"Shut Up and Drive" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. Bill Lamb from About.com commented that there are better songs on Good Girl Gone Bad, but "Shut Up and Drive" captures "the spirit of summer just as well as Rihanna's first hit 'Pon de Replay'".{{cite web|url=http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/shutupanddrive.htm|title=Rihanna – 'Shut Up and Drive'|work=About.com|last=Lamb|first=Bill|access-date=September 2, 2011|archive-date=October 23, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023171207/http://top40.about.com/od/singles/gr/shutupanddrive.htm|url-status=live}} Lamb further continued, "The lyrics are pure fluff, and the vocals have the now familiar thin and reedy quality common to many of Rihanna's efforts. However, like any successful sports car, the look, feel, and speed of 'Shut Up and Drive' pull you in despite the model's shortcomings." Quentin B. Huff from PopMatters wrote that "Shut Up and Drive" is a sassier version of Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love" and Michael Jackson's "Speed Demon". He also stated that the song would have fit comfortably on Gwen Stefani's 2004 first album Love. Angel. Music Baby. Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine found that the song did not live up to its campy title,{{cite web|url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=1135|title=Music Review: Rihanna: Good Girl Gone Bad|work=Slant Magazine|last=Cinquemani|first=Sal|date=May 22, 2007|access-date=September 4, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102041251/http://slantmagazine.com/music/music_review.asp?ID=1135|archive-date=January 2, 2010}} while Rodney Dugue from The Village Voice described it as simultaneously "goofy and sexually daring".{{cite news|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0723,dugue,76851,22.html|title=Mediocre Girl Gone Good|work=The Village Voice|last=Dugue|first=Rodney|date=May 29, 2007|access-date=September 4, 2011|archive-date=June 20, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080620231628/http://www1.villagevoice.com/music/0723,dugue,76851,22.html|url-status=live}} Andy Kellman from AllMusic also referred to it as "a sleek, forthcoming proposition...as undeniable and rocking as Sugababes' 2002 UK smash 'Freak Like Me'". "Shut Up and Drive" won Most Popular R&B Song at the 34th People's Choice Awards.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1047182/chart-beat|title=Chart Beat|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 29, 2011|archive-date=September 26, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926210639/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1047182/chart-beat|url-status=live}}

Usage in media

"Shut Up and Drive" is featured on the soundtrack of the 2012 Disney film Wreck-It Ralph, playing over the scene in which Ralph (John C. Reilly) teaches Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) to drive in the arcade game Sugar Rush.{{cite web | url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0094WK9FQ# | title=Wreck-It Ralph (Soundtrack) | publisher=Amazon.com | access-date=October 2, 2014 | archive-date=December 31, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151231012944/http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0094WK9FQ | url-status=live }} The song is also featured in 2008 movies College Road Trip, 21, and Wild Child.

The song was later used as a "Lip Sync for your Life" song in "Revenge of the Queens", a season 2 episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars in 2016. Contestants Tatianna and Alyssa Edwards performed this song for a chance to re-enter the competition; since both performed exceptionally well, they both got to return.
