It makes sense that Devon Cole’s “W.I.T.C.H.” was one of her first singles to go viral because she is, indeed, a W.I.T.C.H. (Woman In Total Control of Herself). The track has over 118M streams, and her subsequent singles are quickly catching up each day. The topics that Devon sings about are fresh and emotionally diverse, which is part of the reason why fans and the likes of Bustle and EARMILK keep coming back. She brings fans into a world where they can laugh, cry, vent, and feel good about themselves, making her a nominee for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the 2023 Juno Awards and a Favorite Breakout Artist nominee at the 2023 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards. For her first single of 2025, she invites listeners in(side) with “Play House.”
On “Play House,” Devon Cole chooses to stay home rather than go out for the night. The bright guitar and lively rhythms suggest that there is much fun to be had here, made even more so with Devon’s sweet and soulful vocals. She sings, “I’m not saying / We should get married, but baby / I like to play house / I like to make out / Let the dishes keep on soaking / And lay me down / Put on a vinyl / You look delightful.” Really, what more could you want for a perfect night in?
About the single, Devon explains,
“‘Play House’ keeps with my other releases because it’s funky, playful, and zesty. I think I’m stepping into a new confidence and it shows. I love how my vocals sound in this song—I’m not trying to be anything or anyone, I’m just being myself. More of that to come!”
