Drive is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Alan Jackson. Released in 2002 on Arista Nashville, the album produced Jackson's highest-debuting single on the Hot Country Songs charts in the Number One hit "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)", a ballad written in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "Drive (For Daddy Gene)", "Work in Progress", and "That'd Be Alright" were also released as singles, peaking at #1, #3, and #2, respectively, on the same chart; "Designated Drinker" also reached #44 without officially being released. In addition, all four released singles crossed over to pop radio and cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #28, #28, #35 and #29, respectively
