Healy’s indication towards his other music guise was displayed through social media. The Chocolate singer set up a brand new Instagram account for Drive Like I Do, a move executed by artists who wish to tease fans with the idea of new music. Healy took to his official Instagram, which is posed under the moniker Truman Black, to share a throwback photo of the band, which again is a homage towards Drive Like I Do. 

The Mancunian born artist posted a photograph of himself rocking out fifteen years ago, which received over 149,000 likes from devoted fans. Healy wrote the caption: “Drive Like I Do – Live in Newcastle 2005”. When one devoted fan commented: “we want a new DLID record”, the Girls hitmaker simply responded “ok”.

Following this interaction, Healy sent the link to the fan leading to a brand new Instagram page dedicated to Drive Like I Do.  The new account has two photos only – some vintage looking snaps of a backyard basketball hoop, and an action shot of a football match.

The first post was captioned with an ambiguous caption: “That Wasn’t Even The Craziest Thing That Went Down”, which could possibly be a title of some new Drive Like I Do material. Already, the mysterious account has obtained over 13,000 followers.

Earlier this year, Healy spoke on evolving the sound of Drive Like I Do. The 1975 frontman revealed that he was working on remastering some old Drive Like I Do songs. Healy said: “I’m getting the old stuff remastered and I’m basically going to put out the first album, the album that never was released.”

When speaking on rejuvenating his old band, Healy confirmed that “We will follow that up with a new album. There’s so much Drive Like I Do stuff that was great that there’s not even demos of, so I’m going to record those songs and put them out with the two records that do kind of technically exist in the world.”

Healy also spoke out on his decision to quit social media, saying it has made him a “much better person”. Healy elaborated on the pressures of social media, saying: “It’s such a weird paradox. Sometimes I get it right but sometimes I look like a t*** and that makes my work worse. I found myself asking myself ‘for what?’ some attention in the moment? A short cut towards feeling good about myself?”

The latest album from The 1975 is Notes On A Conditional Form, the fourth studio album from the indie-pop band. The 1975 released the critically acclaimed album on May 22nd. Notes On A Conditional Form features songs such as The Birthday Party, Yeah I Know, Streaming and Roadkill.
