In April 2022, Aurora performed a stripped-back cover of Harry Styles' 2019 single "Golden" from his album Fine Line (2019), during a BBC Radio 1's Piano Sessions appearance.[1]
Aurora posted on Twitter to denounce societies' sexualisation of women, writing, "We get sexualised by the world, and yet shamed for being sexual". She then concluded with the hashtag #ourbodyourchoice, linking to the track "The Devil Is Human".[2] Aurora described the song as addressing societal pressures on women and issues related to bodily autonomy, stating, "They want to possess you and own you, and even decide what you get to do with your own body. We are not free until all of us are free." She further highlighted historical and ongoing attempts to suppress strong, independent women, adding, "The world have tried for many years to burn women who were strong, who were brilliant, brave and free spirited. The devil is human, or apparently the devil is a woman. You can burn the skin we live in, but you cannot burn the witch away."[1][3]
Release
"The Devil Is Human" was originally included only on the vinyl edition of Aurora's fourth studio album, The Gods We Can Touch (2022), before being released as a standalone track.[1][4]
