Canadian songstress Devon Cole has your back on buoyant friendship anthem, “I Got You,” out now via Arista Records.
“Sonically, the song is an upbeat earworm and a lyrical ode to friendship, but it was more aspirational than reflective in its origin with Devon. “’I Got You’ is a song about being a good friend,” she explains. “It’s a little ironic for me to have written this song because I've historically not been the best friend. I tend to hermit and I’m trash at responding to anyone’s texts… even my best friends. So, this song is aspirational. I have amazing friends - they are hilarious, intelligent, and iconic. They deserve the kind of friend described in this song. Writing ‘I Got You’ forced me to confront myself and work towards doing better.”
Prior to release, a teaser reel for the song caught the attention of millions of fans across socials, including comments praising “it’s already a hit,” “new favorite song,” and begging for its release.
In celebration of the release this week, Devon is hosting meet-ups in Toronto, her hometown, and LA, her soon-to-be new home town, where she has “got you” -- and the bar tab.
“I Got You” follows 2023’s viral single “W.I.T.C.H,” which to date has over 119 million streams and 30 million views across her socials. 2023 also saw the release of “Dickhead,” deemed an “infectious pop romp” by Ones to Watch. On the DSP end, Devon was the cover of Spotify’s It’s a Bop and Amazon Music’s Canada Now playlists and was featured on Apple Music’s Elton John’s Rocket Hour playlist.
Devon will co-headline a show with labelmate ROSIE on June 5th at Axis Club for Live Nation & Canadian Music Week in Toronto.
