“Escape From LA” is one of "After Hours"‘ most dark and lethargic moments, with Abel dismissively addressing his partner and her infidelity within their relationship. He eventually chalks up their rocky relationship’s strifes to the fast-paced environment of Los Angeles and concludes that the two must get out of the city to live a good life together.
The track’s title was first teased by Abel in one of his merchandise collections prior to the release of After Hours, which included the “Escape LA” work jacket.
“Escape from LA” is also the title of John Carpenter’s post-apocalyptic, cult ‘90s film. Abel references several other ‘90s and early 2000’s films throughout the rest of the track, including Speed and Constantine.
