The EP features guest appearances from Lil Yachty, Santigold, Desiigner, DRAM, Trippie Redd, Lil Xan, MØ, and GoldLink. The project marks Diplo’s return to solo work after several years focusing on collaborative projects such as Major Lazer, Jack Ü, and LSD. Musically, California incorporates elements of hip hop, trap, R&B, and pop, with a more melodic and introspective tone compared to his previous releases.

Several singles preceded the release, including “Get It Right” featuring MØ, “Look Back” featuring DRAM, and “Worry No More” featuring Lil Yachty and Santigold. The songs on California explore themes of loneliness, fame, and self-reflection. The production blends atmospheric synths, minimal beats, and rap vocals, representing a softer and more emotional side of Diplo’s sound. “California” was released digitally worldwide on March 23, 2018. The EP received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production and emotional depth. “Wish” and “Look Back” were particularly highlighted for their vocal performances and introspective lyrics.
