California Girls is a song by the American rock band The Beach Boys, written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love. The lyrics were partly inspired by the band's experiences touring Europe for the first time, detailing an appreciation for women across the world. It reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was also a top 10 hit in several other countries, becoming one of the band's most successful songs globally. Wilson conceived the song during his first acid trip while thinking about women and Western film scores. The song is distinguished for its orchestral prelude, layered vocals, and chromaticism. Wilson later referred to it as "a hymn to youth," the Beach Boys' "anthem," and his favorite record by the group, although he remained dissatisfied with their vocal performance. It was the band's first recording with touring musician Bruce Johnston, who was not yet an official member of the group. This single is in Very Good condition, and is a reissue.
