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 Astrom. 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. Chrysler pulled out of the deal after many of their dealers complained and it became clear the ads were not working. `` I Drove All Night '' ( 2003 ) A 30 second sample of Dion 's version for `` I Drove All Night. '' Problems playing this file ? See media help. In Dion 's version, `` I Drove All Night '' is dance - pop. It was also considered `` a little bit dance - club, a little bit rock & roll. '' Lyrically, she recalls a feverish trek for sexual gratification. She sings in the first verse, `` Maybe I should have called you first, but I was dying to get to you / I was dreaming while I drove the long, straight road ahead. '' In the chorus, she sings, `` Woke you from your sleep to make love to you / Is that all right ? / I drove all night. '' 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. '' Like the original, the chorus is sung again twice, which ends the single. 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 ♯ to E. Critical reception The song received positive reviews from music critics. AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine noticed that the song was `` a tongue - in - cheek, neo-house cover '' and picked it as one of the best tracks on the album, alongside the title track and `` Have You Ever Been in Love. '' Rebecca Wallwork wrote a positive review for Amazon, calling it `` the car - commercial - driven tempo, '' while Jam ! 's Darryl Sterdan named it `` a Cher - style eurodisco. '' Slant Magazine 's Sal Cinquemani echoed the same thought, saying that `` she gets the Cher treatment on the blazing cover. '' People 's Chuck Arnold wrote that in the song, Dion `` shows surprising restraint for a diva who just had a coliseum custom - built for her. '' 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. '' David Browne of EW gave this cover C+, calling her delivery ' frigid ' without over-singing it. He called the arrangement `` blandly competent. '' Chart performance In Canada, the song debuted straight at number one on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and spent 5 consecutive weeks at the top. `` I Drove All Night '' was Dion 's third airplay - only single that charted on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 45.
