The Devil Wears Prada have just shared their latest single, “Eyes,” with an official video, featuring the band as puppets navigating a maze. The track comes off their ninth album, Flowers, due out on November 14, via Solid State Records. Watch it below and read more.

““Eyes” is about coming to a point in life where you start to question the reality of what you once believed,” states the band’s Jonathan Gering. “It captures the feeling of wanting to break away from something that has only worked against you and the struggle to find a new way to move forward.”
Jeremy DePoyster (guitar/clean vox) weighs in, saying, ““Eyes” is a song about desperately yearning for answers, wondering why you keep ending up in the same place without a clear path forward. When you’re caught in a wave of anxiety and the things you’ve been taught are of little help, you’re desperate for clarity and hope.”
He finishes, “Sonically, this song is a journey, contrasting between tight melodic verses and fuzzed out riffs. It’s an anthem for when you need the validation that no one has the answers. We’re all just doing our best.”
Flowers marks the start of an incredibly epic cycle and phase for the band. The global touring scheduling finds The Devil Wears Prada playing some of the biggest shows of their career. They just wrapped the Summer of Loud tour, which packed amphitheaters through the summer. Additionally, the single “For You” is the band’s first-ever track to chart on both the Mediabase and Billboard Active Rock charts. TDWP are continuing to hit new milestones two decades into their career, proving their vitality as a career band.

More from The Devil Wears Prada:
The Devil Wears Prada have always explored life’s extremes in their music. They’ve never shied away from staring down darkness, dealing with depression, making sense of confusion, soothing anxiety, or grappling with faith, existence, and death. At the same time, they’ve mirrored life’s ups and downs by alternating between crushing heaviness and heart-wrenching melodies. After over two decades of making music, their union as bandmates—but more importantly as friends—is stronger than ever. All of this time and experience ultimately empowered the group to make a statement on their ninth full-length offering, Flowers [Solid State]. Matching bold themes with equally bold songs, they process grief, weather struggle, and not only heal together, but creatively blossom like never before. The Devil Wears Prada have always been there for audiences. Among a string of seminal releases, the Zombie EP [2010] and Dead Throne [2011] each debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, and 2021’s ZII marked their sixth straight Top 5 entry on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. They have also tallied nearly a half-a-billion streams —unprecedented for most acts this heavy. The group elevated to another stratosphere with Color Decay [2022], selling out their biggest shows worldwide and receiving some of the highest praise of its career. During 2024, the musicians decamped to a VRBO in Rodgers, Arkansas for three weeks where they constructed the foundation for the LP, with Jon again at the helm as producer. Following their time “in this heavenly corner of Arkansas,” Jon, Jeremy, and Mike took a handful of trips to Los Angeles. Putting the finishing touches on recording, the guys collaborated with Tyler Smyth [I Prevail, Falling In Reverse], Austin Coupe [Lø Spirit, Moodring], Colin Brittain [Linkin Park, Papa Roach], Fit For A King‘s Bobby Lynge, and Marshall Gallagher of Teenage Wrist. They also enlisted Color Decay collaborator Sam Guaiana as an engineer and tapped Zakk Cervini [Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox] for mixing and mastering. 20 years deep into their career together, their creativity has surged to life on Flowers, representing perhaps their most significant creative leap forward yet.
