On March 1, 2018, R5's social networks had their name changed to The Driver Era and all posts deleted. On March 2, it was confirmed that The Driver Era was a new band consisting of Ross and Rocky. On the same day, promotional videos were released for their first single, "Preacher Man", to be released on March 16th.
"Preacher Man" was released on March 16 as the duo's first single. After several previews of new songs, the band released "Afterglow" on July 3rd. The single was not released on platforms such as iTunes and Spotify, but on the band's official website for free download (later, on August 31, it was made available on digital platforms). On October 26th, the band released "Low".

The Driver Era Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope she likes to dance
Welcome to the end of your life, yeah
Never thought you′d see the white light, yeah
You probably shouldn't run the red light, yeah
I know you hope you said your goodbye-ye-ye-ye-ye
Never got to save a girl's life, yeah
Probably should've learned to play nicer
Now I wish I would′ve said bye-ye-ye-ye-ye
Now it′s just me and a mirror
Can't tell if I′m really here
I think I'm leaving this body
Take me to heavenly hills
With all the roses and pills
Where you can bury this body
I hope she likes my moves
I hope she likes to dance
Welcome to the end of your life, yeah
Never thought you′d see the white light, yeah
You probably shouldn't run the red light, yeah
I know you hope you said your goodbye-ye-ye-ye-ye
(Goodbye-ye-ye-ye-ye)
Always on the hunt for more ice, yeah
I bet you only used the both price, yeah
Maybe you′ll come back and live twice, yeah
Now I wish I would've said bye-ye-ye-ye-ye
Yeah, oh
(Goodbye-ye-ye-ye-ye)
Now it's just me and a mirror
Can′t tell if I′m really here
I think I'm leaving this body
Take me to heavenly hills
With all the roses and pills
Where you can bury this body
Now it′s just me and a mirror
Can't tell if I′m really here
I think I'm leaving this body
Take me to heavenly hills
With all the roses and pills
Where you can bury this body
I hope she likes my moves
The lyrics of The Driver Era's song "Welcome to the End of Your Life" are haunting and introspective. The song starts with the singer hoping that a woman likes his moves and likes to dance, setting a tone of uncertainty and anxiety. The chorus, "Welcome to the end of your life," suggests a moment of reckoning and realization that one's life is over. The next line, "Never thought you'd see the white light," references the popular belief that people see a bright light before passing away, indicating that the singer has died.
The following lines, "You probably shouldn't run the red light, yeah. I know you hope you said your goodbye-ye-ye-ye-ye," suggest that the character died in a car crash, perhaps running a red light. He wishes he had said goodbye to his loved ones before the accident. The singer then reflects on his life and regrets, wishing that he had not thought twice about things and had saved a girl's life. He also acknowledges that he should have been nicer to people.
In the last verse, the singer seems to be in a state of out-of-body experience, looking at himself in the mirror and questioning if he is really there. He wishes to be taken to a heavenly place where his body can be buried among the roses and pills. The lyrics suggest that the character is struggling to come to terms with his death, realizing that he did not live his life to the fullest.
