Jessie J – CALIFORNIA (Official Video)

I lived in California for 10 years 2014 – 2024, I had some of my best days and my worst days in the time I lived there and thats what this song is about. The day I was driving to the studio to meet Ryan Tedder (2020) I voice noted him and said, I want to write a song that’s like a pimp musical, imagine a 3 piece suit and a cane and heavy drums and hummed the melody down the phone.

When I got to the studio Ryan was already making the track and we wrote the song so quickly. It is one of my favourite songs on the album, and to sing live. So I really wanted to shoot a visual for it. Nothing too fancy just me being me in LA in some very LA places, I flew to LA for 48 hours right before my breast cancer surgery in June 2025 and it’s taken a year for me to edit this video, but life eh? Ride them up and downs……
