California Love was released in 1995 as the lead single from 2Pac's album All Eyez on Me, featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman on the talkbox chorus. Built around a sample of Joe Cocker's Woman to Woman, it became a defining West Coast hip-hop anthem and reached number one in the United States. The track has endured through radio, films, sports arenas and countless online edits, where its sunny chorus is shorthand for California pride, confidence and celebration.

The iconic California Love hook by 2Pac featuring Dr. Dre, a West Coast hip-hop anthem often used for hype edits, wins and California pride moments.
The clip captures the instantly recognisable chorus of California Love, driven by a smooth, funky G-funk beat, bright synthesiser chords and Roger Troutman's talkbox vocals singing about partying in California. 2Pac's confident delivery rides over the groove with a laid-back swagger that feels both celebratory and cool. It sounds warm, sunny and anthemic rather than aggressive, which is why it lands so well as a punchline or a high point in a video. Hearing those first notes instantly signals good vibes, West Coast pride and a moment worth celebrating.
