MUSIC CITY MEMO: Dani Rose Releases New Single “California”

Latest Release Highlights the Glitz and Grit of the Golden State


Out next Wednesday, July 24, Rose’s latest track is an ode to her prior residence, reminiscent of timeless classics ‘Walking In Memphis’ and ‘New York, New York.’





NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 16, 2024) – Dani Rose is set to release her latest single, “California,” on Wednesday, July 24. With her signature western edge and a nod to the original Bakersfield country rock sound, Rose reinvents traditional country music in a way only she can. In this single, an iconic melody reminiscent of Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do” melds story-driven lyricism akin to the timeless classic “New York, New York” by Sinatra, resulting in country music’s latest earworm.


Dani Rose masterfully weaves her country roots with electrifying pop and rock elements, creating a track that’s as refreshing as it is rebellious. “California” is an insightful peek at the glamorous yet challenging lifestyle of California’s most alluring cities. The song humorously suggests that if you can’t find happiness in California, you won’t find it anywhere – but digs deeper to reveal the sometimes ugly truths of the pursuit of stardom. Like other odes to New York, San Francisco and Memphis, “California” honors its residents, capturing the highs and lows of pursuing dreams in the Golden State.


“California captures my wild ride out West – the good, the bad, and everything in between. It’s a quirky, heartfelt song dedicated to my former home, blending joy, heartbreak, and a dash of humor,” Dani shares enthusiastically.


With sync placements on four episodes of Paramount’s Yellowstone, and additional songs on CBS’s Fire Country, HBO’s True Blood, CMT’s Nashville, The CW’s Roswell and Fox’s Monarch, Dani Rose continues to keep audiences enthralled. With this list of accomplishments, Rose has drawn reviews from the likes of Taylor Sheridan, creator of Yellowstone, who said,


“I’ve got a pretty good knack for finding the next big star…miss Dani Rose and I think you’ll really like her.“


Dani Rose co-wrote “California” with Candi Carpenter, Aaron Kessler and Alden Witt. The song was co-produced by Jaxon Hargrove (prior work with Ashley McBride, Brothers Osborn and Little Big Town), Alden Witt, Aaron Kessler and Candi Carpenter.


Preview the lyrics below:


“If you can’t be happy here

you won’t be happy anywhere

the road is gold and the weather’s gorgeous

there’s no place like California

If you can’t be happy here

you won’t be happy anywhere

we’re acting like we can afford it but we’re all broke in California”


Dani Rose’s latest single, “Good Mourning“, premiered on People Magazine with a vintage, late 70s-inspired music video. Her recent EP, “Got It From My Mama,” included a heartwarming collection of songs celebrating mothers everywhere. “Got It From My Mama” gained massive popularity on TikTok, peaking at #2 on the US TikTok Charts, and earning 1.3 billion video views on TikTok with over 1 million videos made using the song. The EP featured a bilingual version of the song, titled “Got It From My Mama (Lo Tengo De Mi Mama),” with 2x Latin Grammy award-winning superstar Chiquis, who sang with Rose in both English and Spanish.


The staying power of “Got It From My Mama” was honored by The Tennessean, who predicted, “‘Got It From My Mama’ could be a viral Mother’s Day hit forever.”
