Drive-By Lullabies is the debut studio album by the American musician Quinn, released on September 17, 2021, by Dismiss Yourself. Recouping from a period of depression after purging her songs on SoundCloud, Quinn began producing the album herself. She had the goal of making the album sound messy and viewed the album as a trial run. She altered her vocals in various different ways, including raising the pitch of her vocals on the album to hide her deeper voice. She incorporated field recordings that were recorded herself into the album's sound.

Drive-By Lullabies is an experimental pop and digicore album, departing from Quinn's previous hyperpop sound. Music journalists also listed numerous other genres the album's sound was influenced by and can range from. It explores themes of depression and suicidal ideation with songs written about Quinn's experiences in real life. "Coping Mechanism" was released as the album's lead single in May 2021. The album received critical acclaim; Dazed and The Fader considered it one of the best albums of 2021, while The Line of Best Fit deemed it one of the best hyperpop albums of all time.
