Unfurling across light, airy verses and passages of '90s-influenced grungy guitars, it serves as the final teaser for the singer-songwriter's sophomore album, 'My Soft Machine', which is out tomrrow (May 26). Parks said in a statement:
"Devotion to me is a song about feeling so in love it’s almost like being ripped apart, there’s an intensity, a wildness and a tenderness. This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever made, it draws from the bands that made me fall in love with music from Deftones to Yo La Tengo to Smashing Pumpkins to My Bloody Valentine."

Parks will support the follow-up to 2021's Mercury Prize-winning 'Collapsed In Sunbeams' with Australian shows in July, before UK and European tour dates in September.
