"Orange Trees" is a song by Welsh singer and songwriter Marina from her fourth studio album, Love + Fear (2019). The song was released for digital download and streaming as the album's third single on 22 March 2019 by Atlantic Records. It was written by Marina, Oscar Görres, Erik Hassle, and Jakob Jerlstrom, while produced by Görres. Several remixes of the song were commissioned by Atlantic and released throughout 2019, including one produced by German DJ Claptone. An acoustic version of "Orange Trees" appears on Marina's sixth extended play, Love + Fear (Acoustic) (2019). Musically, the song has been described as an electropop and indie pop track, with a tropical beat and lyrics that describe a summer romance spent in the beauty of nature. Marina wrote the song about the island city of Lefkada, Greece, where her family once lived.
"Orange Trees" received generally mixed reviews from music critics. Some considered the song a standout or compared it to Marina's previous single "Handmade Heaven", a track that also discusses nature in its lyrics, while other critics dismissed it as inferior to other Love + Fear tracks. Two accompanying music videos were produced and the original video was released alongside the song, directed by Sophie Muller, and filmed at a private villa in Puerto Vallarta. It depicts Marina adventuring and exploring the property with several friends. A vertical video was released in April 2019, featuring Marina singing while wearing a large, flower headpiece. To promote the song, Marina performed it on Late Night with Seth Meyers that same month. The song was also included on the setlist of her fourth concert tour, the Love + Fear Tour (2019).
