## Music and composition

Ross during his interview with SPIN:

> “What’s exciting about these songs is that they all have different creation times, in that some of them have been in the process for a year or two and some of them we just started making a few months ago,” Ross added. “We didn’t just sit down and start making the album right here, right now. The songs all came from different points in our lives.”

## Critical reception

Ones to Watch opined:

> “Then seconds later we are taken to the euphoric all-night jam that is “flashdrive.” Under a textured haze, The Driver Era chronicles the sensation of letting a blissful night slip through your fingers as drinks continue to flow. The effect is outright intoxicating.

> The double release of “OMG Plz Don’t Come Around” and “flashdrive” is a testament to the range of The Driver Era. Ross and Rocky Lynch regularly balance classic anthemic prowess and heartfelt vulnerability with flawless ease.”

## Lyrics

[Hook]

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Wait that’s too much

Now I’m fucked up

Yea I’m past buzzed

Soon the re-up

From you

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Now I’m so high

In a flash drive

And these good times

Turn to bad times so soon

[Verse 1]

Oh my dear

I can’t think clear

Yea I am lost oh

I am lost

Oh my dear

Your’e the baddest here

No I can’t stop no

No I can’t stop

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I don’t even want you

But every time that I am with you

It always seems to go down so smooth

I always lose

And I can’t stop no

[Hook]

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Wait that’s too much

Now I’m fucked up

Yea I’m past buzzed

Soon the re-up

From you

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Now I’m so high

In a flash drive

And these good times

Turn to bad times so soon

[Verse 2]

Run me dry

I can never hide

From all of these thoughts no

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I don’t really want to

But oh you got away with your moves

And now that I am lost in space too

It’s all bad news

And I can’t stop no

[Hook]

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Wait that’s too much

Now I’m fucked up

Yea I’m past buzzed

Soon the re-up

From you

So fill my cup up

Till I feel love

Now I’m so high

In a flash drive

And these good times

Turn to bad times so soon
