Background
Caroline debuted to streaming platforms on 23 November 2020, the same day it premiered as Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1. Describing the song, Parks said "Caroline is an exercise in people watching and seeing situations unfold without context, Its an exploration of how something once full of healthy passion can dissolve in an instant." The song describes a fallout between a couple from the perspective of an onlooker waiting for the bus.
Music video
The music video was released in December 2020.
Critical reception
Molly Rushton from 'Redbrick' described Caroline as "melancholy" and stated that it "captures a tragic energy". Rushton called it "one of the best singles to have come from Parks yet". Robin Murray from 'Clash' also praised the song.
