Discover the story of the song > California Dreamin’ – Sia

The song is about the protagonist dreaming of being in California, where the weather is nice and warm, instead of where she is now, where it's cold and the sky is gray. She imagines herself walking around and feeling safe and warm in Los Angeles, even pretending to pray in a church to stay there longer. The lyrics repeat the idea of being safe and warm in California, and the song ends with the protagonist wishing she could leave the winter behind and go to California.
