"I Drive Myself Crazy" is the fourth and final single released from *NSYNC's Europe/US self-titled debut album. It is notable for being the one of the only songs where anyone other than Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez sang lead in - Chris Kirkpatrick sang in the beginning (although the European single, titled 'Thinking of You', Chasez sings Kirkpatrick's part). This single did not fare as well on the charts as the previous ones.
This single is included on Totally Hits 2. It's also on 'N Sync's The Winter Album as "Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)" and on Greatest Hits.

[edit] Music video
The video, directed by Tim Story[1], shows the boys in an asylum. The viewer gets to see each man's torment as he remembers the girl who put him there. Each 'N Syncer came up with his own storyline. Chasez sees the girl who cheated on him on TV, on a show reminiscent of The Jerry Springer Show. A flashback shows Kirkpatrick ignoring his girlfriend as he talks on the cell phone, so she gets up and leaves. He sees visions of his girlfriend walking past him. Lance Bass reminisces to a scene where he is plucking the petals off a flower. His girlfriend sidles up to him, pulls a few petals off, but then leaves him. Timberlake's flashback shows him trying to give a necklace to a girl, but she returns it and leaves and embraces another guy. Joey Fatone is with his girlfriend, when another girl walks by and kisses him. His girlfriend slaps him and then leaves. In the asylum, Fatone continually slaps himself in the face with a flyswatter. The scenes in the asylum gradually get more frenetic, with their normal expressions changing to crazed expressions, Chasez attacking the TV and being restrained, Bass ripping up flowers and Fatone running around in a Superman costume. Symbolizing their recovery is when the psychiatrist Fatone is working with makes romantic advances on him, and he fights her off and runs away. At the end the five are released, and the girls are shown being brought to the asylum instead, as the group run off to freedom. The video Debut on TRL April 1, 1999.
