The Driver Era have finally released their latest single, âDonât Walk Away,â after previewing it back in August during their sold-out show at the Wiltern and subsequently on Instagram. Sibling duo Rocky and Ross Lynch have spent the year enhancing their sound through new releases, such as singles âYou Keep Me Up At Nightâ and âGet Off My Phone,â both of which use catchy hooks and sultry lyrics to convey the feeling of yearning, âDonât Walk Awayâ is no exception. It is safe to say that The Driver Era are nothing less than obsessed, a theme that seems to define the duo as of late.
The punchy lyrics detailing an unexpected relationship capture the thrill of a whirlwind romance, clearly something the duo welcomes with open arms. Not even the L-word is off-limits. âI think I love this girl / I think I love this momentâ truly captures the impulsivity bred from the desire for permanence. Ross knows the moment could be fleeting and, therefore, begs in the chorus, âDonât walk away / Canât you stay?â
Additionally, âDonât Walk Awayâ solidifies what we already knewâThe Driver Era are no strangers to a synth-driven bassline. Returning to their roots of alt-pop, the duo showcases their expertise in this fool-proof formula that seems to always result in a flawless earworm. Much like âYou Keep Me Up At Night,â âDonât Walk Awayâ is undoubtedly bound to get into peopleâs heads, hearts, and playlists and stay there.
After wrapping up the European leg of the âX Girlfriend Tourâ in October, The Driver Era will spend the first half of 2025 traveling the globe for the âObsession Tour.â The duo is also set to release their fourth album, Obsession, in February, according to a link from a QR shown at their show in London last month.
