The track is taken from the Australian newcomer's debut EP, 'Highway Songs No. 2', which is due for release on October 7 through I Oh You. Discussing it, she said:
"I wrote and recorded Palo Alto through so many times in my life that the song became a kind of folder for memories and sentiments over a long stretch of time. I started writing it in my hometown, then continued it in Sydney (my friend lived in a building called Palo Alto), and then wrote the rest in different trips to the studio.
It was always destined to be sun-drenched and gritty and gilded in synths and electric guitars - I wanted to find the line between the '90s, early 2000s and now, and blend all my dreams of a highway song into one. The moment this song came together, production-wise, it felt like the beginning of Jack River. It's about letting go but not giving up, melancholic-but-sure endings, and people realising magic when it's too late - even though you knew it all along."
