Background
Olly 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.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/pride/8463110/years-and-years-all-for-you-new-single|title=Years & Years Debut Club-Ready New Single 'All for You'|first=Henry|last=Youtt|magazine=Billboard|date=27 June 2018|accessdate=18 April 2021}} 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."{{cite web|url=https://readdork.com/news/years-years-have-a-new-video-for-all-for-you/|title=Years & Years have a new video for 'All For You'|publisher=Dork|date=17 September 2018|accessdate=18 April 2021}}

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."
