With its addictive chorus hook, the song plunges fans into a thrilling new era for Rain City Drive. Rodriguez's vocals harmonize beautifully with McAndrew's, resulting in a dynamic and sensational track. The song consists of a heavy blend of melodies and electrifying pop sensibilities.

"Medicate Me" is about chasing the high of a toxic relationship to escape boredom/complacency. Featuring Rory Rodriguez from Dayseeker, produced by Daniel Braunstein, mixed by Zakk Cervini, it was a blast to bring this song to life with such talented people. This track is simultaneously one of our heaviest and most pop leaning songs to date- a sneak peak into our ambitions and hard hitting third album."
