Drive Me Wild is the third track on Vanity 6's first and only album Vanity 6, and, six weeks after the album's release, it was included as the b-side of Nasty Girl, the album's first single. In Spring 1983, Drive Me Wild was released as the album's fourth and final single.
While specific recording dates are unknown, initial tracking took place in Summer 1981 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions that produced Make-Up, Wet Dream and I Need A Man).
The tracks were intended for an album titled The Hookers, which was abandoned in Fall 1981, and which later evolved into Vanity 6. Vocal overdubs by Vanity and Brenda Bennett were added in Spring, 1982, when the band had evolved into Vanity 6.
Prince worked on the extended version for a 12" release during the week of 7-14 January 1983 (during the same sessions as the extended version of Little Red Corvette), five months after the album had been released, at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA.
