Next single = —"I Can Drive" is a song recorded by Shakespears Sister. The song is technically a solo effort by band member Siobhan Fahey after the departure of bandmate Marcella Detroit. It was co-written and produced by Fahey's then-husband David A. Stewart and featured, now prominent record producer/writer, Jimmy Hogarth on guitar

"I Can Drive" was released in 1996 under the "Shakespears Sister" moniker at the urging of London Records, who also planned to release the "#3" album. The track differs from past Shakespears Sister singles as it veers from the polished, pop-oriented realm of their past hits to a more glam rock and Beatles-influenced sound. A music video was produced with Fahey performing the song with her new backing band.

Upon its release "I Can Drive" peaked at number thirty in the UK Singles Chart. London Records, feeling that its low position was a failure, chose to shelve the entire "#3" project and they parted ways with Fahey.Fact|date=February 2007 After a years-long battle with the label, Fahey regained the rights to the album and released it independently through her website in 2004.

In advance of the single's release, Fahey performed the track on several UK prime time UK shows including "Richard and Judy" and "Top of the Pops". The Sophie Muller-directed promo video shows Fahey performing with her band.
