"I Drove All Night" was recorded by Celine Dion for her eighth English-language studio album, One Heart (2003), and released as the lead single on January 21, 2003. The song was featured in a promotional ad for Chrysler. The "I Drove All Night" music video was directed by Peter Arnell and released in February 2003. It was included on the United Kingdom enhanced double A-side single "One Heart/I Drove All Night". The song was commercially successful, reaching number 1 for five weeks in Canada, while also topping the charts in Belgium (Flanders) and Sweden.
Background
In 2003, Chrysler signed Dion to a $14 million deal to endorse their cars. They were looking for a song to use in the campaign and release as a single. Billy Steinberg knew Dion and had written "Falling into You," which was the title track of her 1996 album. He sent a copy of Roy Orbison's version of "I Drove All Night" to her record company, who loved it and had Dion record it with Swedish producer Peer Åström.[42] She used the song in her Las Vegas show and it became the centerpiece of the Chrysler campaign. The commercials were great exposure for the song and helped sell many albums, but they did not sell enough cars.[43] Chrysler pulled out of the deal after many of their dealers complained and it became clear the ads were not working.[42]
In Dion's version, "I Drove All Night" is dance-pop.[43] It was also considered "a little bit dance-club, a little bit rock and roll."[44] In the second verse, Dion duplicates a line as it is heard in Orbison's original recording. Instead of singing, "no matter where I go I hear the beating of our heart," Dion sings, "our one heart," which is where the title of the album the song is featured on gets its name.[43] Like the original, the chorus is sung again twice, which ends the single.[43]
Composition
Dion's version of "I Drove All Night" is set in the key of G♯ minor. It features a moderately fast tempo of 135 beats per minute, and her vocals span from F♯3 to E5.[45]
Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from music critics.
The Guardian's Betty Clarke wrote a negative review, saying: "Her cover of Roy Orbison's "I Drove All Night" is full of reverberating notes and sultry asides, but reveals a fundamental lack of sincerity that renders her threatening when she is trying for tender."[51] David Browne of EW gave this cover C+, calling her delivery 'frigid' without over-singing it. He called the arrangement "blandly competent."[52]
Commercial performance
In Canada, the song debuted straight at number one on the
In Australia, the song debuted and peaked at number 22 on the
The song was even more successful on the
In France, even not reaching the top twenty, the song proved to be strong on the SNEP chart.[64] It debuted at number 89, however, it fell to number 94 in its second week and to number 97 in its third week.[64] Despite falling for two consecutive weeks and leaving the charts, the song re-entered at number 22, its peak position, on April 26, 2003.[64] It spent 11 non-consecutive weeks on the chart.[64]
Music video and promotion
The music video shot in
Dion appeared in four commercial spots—all scored with tracks from One Heart including "I Drove All Night"—for Chrysler, also directed by Arnell and edited by Ottinger, while Darius Khondji acted as director of photography on the ads.[65]

The song became also an opening track for the 2008-09 Taking Chances World Tour, preceded by an introduction video using the remix of "I Drove All Night" as well. The audio and footage of this performance was included in the Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert CD/DVD.[70] In October 2008, "I Drove All Night" was included on My Love: Essential Collection greatest hits.[71] The song was also performed in Dion's 2017 European tour.
