"Apple Tree" is a song by AURORA, released as the fourth single from the second chapter of her second studio album, A Different Kind Of Human – Step 2. The song's music video, directed by Rianne White and produced by Ben Pengilly, was released on September 26, 2019.
On August 14, 2019, a remixed version by Georgia was released as a promotional single, which includes the song's original album version and the track "The River". An acoustic version ("Amazon Original") was recorded for Amazon in San Francisco and released on March 13, 2020.
"Apple Tree" finds AURORA being hopeful that we can all save the world together. The track's sound stands out in her discography as one of her most different tracks, with her vocal delivery during the verses displaying a flow comparable to rap music.
Upon release of the music video, AURORA posted a lengthy note on her social media. A similar note is in the music video's description: "'Apple Tree' is about the potential that hides in all of us. We can all save the world if we put our minds to it. The world won't listen to scientific proof that the world is dying, so maybe it will listen to the dreamers, the children. In a bleeding world, the power of the individual is our only hope. Let her save the world. Let him save them all. Believe in us, and maybe we'll be the generation that saves the world, rather than the one that killed it."
During a Step 2 listening party and Q&A held on June 13, 2019, AURORA gave insights on the production of the song. She confirmed that the beat of the track was influenced by Brazilian's Olodum, which she came in contact when she first went to Salvador in 2017. There's also hip-hop influences because she "felt it deserved a very alive and bad-ass groove".
