In “Cold In LA,” Why Don’t We beg their love interest to stay with them, metaphorically comparing this person’s warmth to the temperature in the city which they live – Los Angeles, commonly abbreviated to LA.

It is the second single released after their debut album 8 Letters following their previous January release “BIG PLANS”. The love song was fittingly released on Valentine’s Day, 2019.

The song was initially demoed by band members Daniel Seavey and Jonah Marais, neither of which were in a public relationship at the time.
