This video is the official music video for "CALIFORNIA" by Jessie J. It serves as a visual reflection of her time living in Los Angeles between 2014 and 2024, capturing both the highs and the lows she experienced there.
Key Details:
- Inspiration: The song was born from a 2020 studio session with Ryan Tedder. Jessie J wanted to create a track with a "pimp musical" vibe, characterized by a three-piece suit, a cane, and heavy drums.
- Production: The video was self-directed and edited by Jessie J. She filmed it over a 48-hour trip to LA in June 2025, just before undergoing breast cancer surgery.
- Thematic Essence: The lyrics focus on the grit and reality of life in the city behind the "picture-perfect" facade, reflecting on the personal journey of climbing the hills and riding the ups and downs (0:39-1:29).
The video emphasizes a raw, authentic look at her experiences in various iconic LA locations, representing her resilience and individual path.
