"California Gurls" is a song recorded by American singer Katy Perry. It served as the lead single for her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). The song features verses from rapper Snoop Dogg. Both artists co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its co-producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin, with additional production from Benny Blanco. According to Perry, "California Gurls" is an answer song to "Empire State of Mind" (2009), by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. Its midtempo production incorporates disco-pop and funk-pop with influences of new wave and electropop. Its lyrics are an ode to the state of California, in which both Perry and Snoop Dogg were born and raised.
Now 35 debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, moving 105,000 units in its first week of release. [1] In November 2010, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA. [2]

Andy Kellman of Allmusic calls Now! 35 "one of the more 'now' volumes of the series" with only one of its 16 hits not in the Hot 100 at the time of its release. However, the rock selections on the album "seem like arbitrary throw-ins". [3]
