Northern Irish singer/songwriter Janet Devlin has returned with new single “Back To My Senses” via OK!Good Records. “Back To My Senses” serves as “both a moment of honest self-reflection and a plea directed at her former lover, following the painful misstep of a breakup.” Featured on her album Emotional Rodeo, the new single blends Country and Rock influences.

“Back To My Senses” reflects “the profound impact of Devlin’s mental health on her love life, leading her to mistakenly end a partnership.”

Opening up on the meaning behind the song, Devlin shares:

On paper this looks like one of the cringiest things I’ve ever done! I had a mental health crisis which led to me breaking up with the person I was with – the manic episode lasted for about three days. When my feelings came flooding back to me and I realised what I’d done – I wrote this song and sent it to them along with a groveling text message. And guess what – it worked!!

“Back To My Senses” is the first song from Devlin’s recording journey at Blackbird Studios in Nashville.

She continues:

The track means a lot to me as it was the first song I ever recorded in Nashville, so in a way it was the catalyst for me taking the leap and recording the whole album there. It was also played a load on the last UK tour so I made sure that I had my guitarist lay down his backing vocals and get my mandolin player on there as well – it would have felt empty without them! Sonically, it’s a bit dad rock – but I wanted it to be. I know it may not be the coolest thing nor have I ever been cool – so I embrace it, as it’s one of my favourite genres!
