The single has been a hit, gaining more and more popularity since the film’s release. “Speed Drive” even earned the singer her first Billboard Hot 100 entry in eight years. The last time XCX was featured on the Billboard Hot 100 was in 2015 with her single “Break The Rules.”

The news of the upcoming music video has come as a surprise to many fans. Due to the single’s late release, many assumed that a video was out of the picture. Other singles on the album, such as “Barbie World” by Ice Spice and Nicki Minaj and “Dance The Night” by Dua Lipa, had music videos released before the film’s premiere. The star-studded soundtrack was another major factor in promoting a “Speed Drive” music video.
