In January 2022 it was revealed that the band had gotten back together with the original She Watched the Sky line-up, minus Kyle Simmons. The current band's line up is: Jordan Blake (lead vocals), Nick Miller (guitar), Joey Wilson (guitar), Brian White (bass & backup vocals), and Cory La Quay (drums).
However, on February 16, 2022, a new song, Dead Serious, was released by former vocalist Michael "Jag" Jagmin under the A Skylit Drive name, thus creating two separate versions of the band. One being the original lineup, and the other led by Jag.
Michael "Jag" Jagmin filed a lawsuit against the original members of the band for infringement on the name on March 15, 2022, and on April 3, 2022 Jagmin announced two new members joining him and Jon Kintz in his ASD lineup: drummer Casey "KC" Marotta and guitarist/vocalist Louie Caycoya.
On April 23, 2022, the original lineup announced that moving forward, they would preform as "ASD" for the foreseeable future, with Jag's lineup holding the rights to the "A Skylit Drive" name.
on May 1st, 2023, original ASD vocalist Jordan Blake would pass away

A Skylit Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Replacements are overrated
It's been said once or twice now
Silently we reach the day
The secret's out now
With your eyes in the back of your head
Can you see it's me?
And I will find a way to hunt you down
I won't stop until the bleeding all has run out
Remember what you said about being a friend now?
The movement in her hips strikes the hour when the poison sets in
How do you wake?
How do you sleep at night?
Remember what you said
I know where you are
Plan your escape
Do exactly as I say
Some odd years now comply
Fight for your chance at life
They'll never find out where I buried you
I will force you to sit upright with access to your heart
Now is your time to plea
Say it, "set me free!"
Set me free
Remember what you said about being a friend now?
The movement in her hips strikes the hour when the poison sets in
How do you wake?
How do you sleep at night?
Remember what you said
