Background
Lauren Isenberg, known professionally as Renforshort is a Canadian singer and songwriter from Toronto. Her debut extended play, Teenage Angst EP, was released on March 13, 2020.
About the track "I Drive Me Mad", she said, “I was in the studio and I got a really worrying phone call and I just freaked out and had a really bad panic attack. We had this producer and writer fly in from New York, and it was my last day in the studio, and I was like, 'I can't not write a song.' And we were like, ‘Let's write a song about this panic attack you just had, because it's so fresh.’ The whole track has the feeling of an anxiety attack: In the pre-chorus, it starts speeding up and your heart rate is speeding up as well, and then in the chorus, everything just crashes. And with the lyrics, I was just like, ‘What am I feeling right now? I feel like I'm hyperventilating.’ It was super easy to write, because it was something that was so fresh—I was still freaking out when I was writing the song. That was when I started feeling more comfortable writing about my personal experiences of mental health.”[1]
Remix
Three different projects named "Drive Me Mad Remix", "Drive Me Mad Remix 2" and "Drive Me Mad Remix 3" were seen in Mike Shinoda's computer, among the recent files of Ableton, during his live stream on April 29, 2020.[2] The original song was in Mike's *BREADCRUMBS Spotify playlist. The remix was accidentally released early by Napster and other retailers in early June, but was pulled.[3]
The remix was later officially announced to be released on June 26, 2020.[4]

Lyrics
I can't quite help it, it's overwhelming
Sometimes I wanna stick a cigarette in my
Eyes closed, not sleeping
I'm stressed, you're dreaming
You're softly breathing
While I'm hyperventilating, pacing, I'm losing my patience
Feeling bad 'bout shit I didn't do
So dramatic, panicked, I got pre-traumatic stress 'cause nothing happened yet
But it did in my head
I drive me mad
I drive me absolutely crazy, I feel bad
For you 'cause I'm so fucking paranoid and sad
All the time, you could blame it on my mind
And now I'm mad, I drive me mad
(Ah-ah)
I know it's stupid, it's just hard being human
Some days I wake up and I feel like I just wanna
Dye my hair neon green, so I can forget I'm me
Don't wanna think about drinking a glass of gasoline
I'm hyperventilating, pacing, I'm losing my patience
Feeling bad 'bout shit I didn't do
So dramatic, panicked, I got pre-traumatic stress 'cause nothing happened yet
But it did in my head
I drive me mad
I drive me absolutely crazy, I feel bad
For you 'cause I'm so fucking paranoid and sad
All the time, you could blame it on my mind
And now I'm mad, I drive me mad
Ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
I feel bad for you
You-ooh, you-ooh
'Cause I drive me mad, too
(I drive me mad)
I drive me absolutely crazy, I feel bad
For you 'cause I'm so fucking paranoid and sad
All the time, you could blame it on my mind
And now I'm mad, I drive me mad
(Ah-ah)
