The song was written by band members tim_mcewan and tyler_lyle and produced by McEwan. Lyle's wife Anna sings backing vocals on the song's final chorus, in an uncredited appearance.[2] It has a running time of six minutes and twenty-nine seconds and is in the key of [[WP>A major|A major]].

According to McEwan, the lyrics for Los Angeles were written by Lyle as a tribute to the [[WP>Los Angeles|city]] itself when Lyle moved from the area to New York City.[3] Los Angeles is where McEwan and Lyle first met prior to becoming The Midnight.[4] The song is frequently performed towards or at the end of the band's setlist when they perform live.

Lyrics

Fire on the beach

Face to the sky The stars dance around like gods in disguise The gold silhouette You take off your clothes

And my heart feels the weight of all I don't know

>

Memories and mountain tops

Drunk on Sunset Boulevard With the city of angels singing on Maybe this is just a dream And maybe we are still asleep

But I, I will miss you when I'm gone

>

Flickers of the canyon fire

Its hands raised like a gospel choir If we live forever, let us live forever tonight Helicopters against the moonlight Our holy mother of the midnight

And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight

>

Tomorrow we'll go

Back to our lives With sand in our skin and sun in our eyes But I know the truth I've seen the signs

And I've seen the golden gods in disguise

>

Memories and mountain tops

Drunk on Sunset Boulevard With the city of angels singing on Maybe this is just a dream And maybe we are still asleep

But I, I will miss you when I'm gone

>

Flickers of the canyon fire

Its hands raised like a gospel choir If we live forever, let us live forever tonight Helicopters against the moonlight Our holy mother of the midnight

And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight

>

Flickers of the canyon fire

Its hands raised like a gospel choir If we live forever, let us live forever tonight Helicopters against the moonlight Our holy mother of the midnight

And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight

>

Flickers of the canyon fire

Its hands raised like a gospel choir If we live forever, let us live forever tonight Helicopters against the moonlight Our holy mother of the midnight

And if we live forever, let us live forever tonight
