Even though, musically speaking, this song is nothing special, why will it be commercially successful?

1. Autotune never fails to please the ears of the masses
2. Snoop Dogg is a legend, and, even though this song is far from his roots, he will drive sales
3. Production by the same cast responsible for “I Kissed A Girl” (a #1 hit)
4. Similar structure and melody to recent pop hits “Party in the USA” and “Tik Tok”
5. A reference to ‘gin and juice’ cannot go wrong
6. “So hot we’ll melt your popsicle” sounds like a lyric young girls will remember
7. Empowers women through descriptions of California girls as “fine, fresh, fierce” (alliteration, even!)
8. Autotuned “California” is reminiscent of 2Pac’s “California Love”
