Califórnia


"California" is a song by the band Phantom Planet, written by the lead vocalist Alex Greenwald. The song was released in 2002 as part of the album "The Guest" and was also featured as the theme song for the TV show "The O.C." The band, formed in 1994, achieved moderate success with this catchy pop-rock anthem, which became their most popular and recognizable track. Interestingly, the song was initially written in the key of C major but was later re-recorded in the key of B major. With its upbeat tempo, infectious guitar riffs, and youthful lyrics, "California" captures the nostalgic and carefree spirit associated with the state it celebrates.
