DEVOTION is a maimai original song composed and arranged by AJURIKA (Akitaka Toyama) with lyrics and vocals by SAK. Released as part of the maimai DX BUDDiES PLUS update on June 21, 2024, the track runs at 167 BPM and features a fully English-language vocal, a relatively uncommon choice among maimai originals, which more frequently mix Japanese and English or sing entirely in Japanese. The lyrics revolve around themes of unwavering commitment, fate, and an unbreakable bond, matching the song's title and its high-energy melodic style. The song serves as the Perfect Challenge reward for Dragon Area 3 (ドラゴンちほー3), a story-driven area themed around dragons and their human partners. A lengthy flavor text on the Japanese wiki sets the scene for this narrative context: characters Asuku, Embura, and the dragon-like LED journey through a cursed forest inhabited by feral dragons, culminating in a summoning of the legendary dragon Ratatoskr. DEVOTION functions as the musical climax of this area's story arc. On the charting side, the Master difficulty, designed by LuxiHertz (a collaborative alias combining Luxizhel and Shichimi hertz), is a Level 14 (constant 14.3) with 981 total notes. Notably, it uses Touch notes extremely sparingly (only 6 across the entire chart), unusual for a DX-era Level 14, while packing 102 Slide notes that demand precise coordination. The Expert chart (Level 11+, constant 11.6) was designed by サファ太 (Safata). The accompanying music video animation was handled by yoshimo with 結, いたちねこ, and TAPI岡.
