Background
editOlly Alexander said the song was "one to get deep on the dance floor and release your inner demons" referring to the feeling of relief after leaving a toxic lover.[3] Talking about the song he also said, "We have devils and angels inside of us – the person we present to the world and the one we keep to ourselves; performing has always been a way for me to explore that. In Palo Santo, all your dreams come true and sometimes those dreams are full of monsters. 'All For You' is about reflecting on a past relationship and wondering if things were ever really as you thought they were, it's about how our identities change when we love somebody."[4]
Music video
editA music video to accompany the release of "All for You" was first released onto YouTube on 17 September 2018. The video was directed by Fred Rowson.[5][6] Talking about the video Olly Alexander said, "I wanted the video to depict personal transformation, from a swan to a Witch to an Android and back again. The idea that there is a fixed 'authentic' you is false to me, we constantly shift and get reshaped by the people who experience us, whether we like it or not. I hope you like the video, we tried to make something that felt like a true pop video by way of planet Palo Santo, and we wanted to show you how androids are born."[4]
