Following singles including "Sleepover", "Feelings", and "Curious" have been released to accompany her debut studio album Expectations, which was released on March 30, 2018. The album reached the top 20 of the charts in United States, Canada and Australia. She has also created a comic book, with the help of Naomi Franquiz and Marla Vazquez, based on her song "Gravel to Tempo".
Kiyoko was a founding member of The Stunners in 2007. The group supported Justin Bieber's My World Tour, before disbanding in 2011.
Kiyoko was born to figure skater/choreographer Sarah Kawahara and actor/comedian Jamie Alcroft. Her mother is from Canada and her father is from Ohio, USA.
Palm Dreams
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traveled far, I've traveled wide
I had to go away to find home
I'm home
All the palm trees have the money
Watching from above the endless party
California, just a bad dream
From the hillside (they could party with us)
To the valley (they could party with us)
Watch the sun come up and warm my body
California (they could party with us)
Just a bad dream (they could party with us)
I won't hang around until you break me
Start, stars
I'll make it to the top
I'm shining like the cars and rings
The palms see everything
Start, stars
They're watching like a hawk
I'll try to keep 'em company
The palms see everything
Riding all the highs and lows
I'm never looking back 'cause I know, I know
Walking through the danger zones
I'll make it anywhere 'cause I'm home
I'm home
All the palm trees have the money
Watching from above the endless party
California, just a bad dream
I won't hang around until you want me
From the hillside (they could party with us)
To the valley (they could party with us)
Watch the sun come up and warm my body
California (they could party with us)
Just a bad dream (they could party with us)
I won't hang around until you break me
Start, stars
I'll make it to the top
I'm shining like the cars and rings
The palms see everything
Start, stars
They're watching like a hawk
I'll try to keep 'em company
The palms see everything
Start, stars
I'll make it to the top
I'm shining like the cars and rings
The palms see everything
Start, stars
They're watching like a hawk
I'll try to keep 'em company
The palms see everything
My horizon starts shining
Feeling blind me as I get too close
My horizon starts shining
Feeling blind me as I get
Start, stars
I'll make it to the top
I'm shining like the cars and rings
The palms see everything
Start, stars
They're watching like a hawk
I'll try to keep 'em company
The palms see everything
Start, stars
I'll make it to the top
I'm shining like the cars and rings
The palms see everything
Start, stars
They're watching like a hawk
I'll try to keep 'em company
The palms see everything
If you party with us we'll go up
If you party with us we'll go up
If you party with us we'll go up
If you party with us we'll go up (they could party with us)
If you party with us we'll go up (they could party with us)
If you party with us we'll go up (they could party with us)
If you party with us we'll go up (they could party with us)
If you party with us we'll go up
If you party
The song Palm Dreams by Hayley Kiyoko is about finding one's home through travel and living life to the fullest without being held back. The singer describes cruising down the only road that leads her to a place she knows and has finally discovered as home. She has traveled far and wide to find where she belongs and accepts that she has to leave in order to come back to the place she now calls home. The lyrics also touch upon the dreamy and luxurious appeal of California with endless parties and palm trees, but the singer doesn't want to hang around until she's wanted there. She's not afraid to ride the highs and lows, walk through the danger zones, and make it anywhere because she's finally home.
Throughout the song, the singer refers to the palm trees as if they're a symbol of observation and accountability. She believes that the palm trees have the money, they can see everything, and that they're watching her like a hawk. With references to the sun coming up to warm her body and shining like the cars and rings, she's reaching for the stars and wants to make it to the top. The song concludes with an invitation to party with her and reach new heights, but only once she's confident in where she calls home.

Walking through the danger zones
Navigating through the difficult and treacherous terrains.
I'll make it anywhere 'cause I'm home
I can face and conquer anything as long as I'm in the place where I truly belong.
My horizon starts shining
The future is looking bright and promising.
Feeling blind me as I get too close
When I get too close to my dreams or goals, sometimes I feel lost or unsure.
If you party with us we'll go up
If you celebrate and share our experience, we'll all rise together.

This really makes me want to go to Cali and blast this song while driving down the highway in a convertible. Anyone else?

Why has she not been on Ellen yet??

I know she usually only releases the sapphic themed songs as singles, but this song is so damn catchy that it would be a crime to not release it as a single. I love it so much!
