"She's So California" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Gary Allan. It was released in October 2008 as the third and final single from his 2007 album Living Hard . The song reached number 24 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. [1] The song was written by Allan, Jaime Hanna and Jon Randall.
The song is an up-tempo in which the narrator uses various California-themed imagery to describe his lover, who he says is "so California".
Blake Boldt of Country Universe gave it a B-rating saying it was "little more than album filler", calling the production both "modest and "a bit sterile", but saying that Allan's "gravelly" vocal was of note. [2] Allen Jacobs of Roughstock gave the song a favorable review, writing that "the big chorus with fiddle-play is the best part of the song" and "the storyline is as vast and dynamic as the state that inspired it."
