Miss California
Thomas Dante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a rich girl from the top of the food chain
Love and material things, kinda lonely
Til I met her at the Grammys, 10mil on a diamond ring
She invites me to spend a day on the jet skies
At first it didn't mean a thing
Then she told me I'm the one that she searched for
It was hard to believe.
[Chorus]
She's miss California, hottest thing in west L.A.
House down by the water, sails her yacht across the bay
Drives a maranello, Hollywood's her favorite scene
Loves to be surrounded with superstars that know her name.

In a couple a days she had me a bracelet
Made, from Harry Winstons place
Went horseback up to the mountain top
Shown me the land she's got,
Well its alright but something else is on your mind,
Looking past all that shines now the tears are running through
All those things are nice but it's not why I'm here
I will wipe away your tears simply by just loving you.





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Thomas Dante's song Miss California depict a rich girl who seems to have everything materialistic she could ever want. She is from the top of the societal food chain and is quite lonely despite her possessions until she meets the singer at the Grammys. She invites him to spend a day on the water with her on jet skis and tells him that he is the one she has been searching for. The singer finds it hard to believe but goes along with it initially.


The chorus of the song talks more about the rich girl, now dubbed "miss California". She is the hottest thing in Los Angeles, has a house by the water, sails her yacht across the bay, drives a Maranello, and loves to be surrounded by superstars that know her name. The singer describes how she had him a bracelet made from Harry Winston's place in a couple of days and took him horseback riding to show him the land she owns. However, he seems to realize that although all these things are nice, they are not the reason he is there with her. He wants to comfort her and wipe away her tears simply by loving her.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally released by the artist Dante Thomas in 2001 but gained more popularity when it was remixed by the German DJ and producer, Alex Christensen, in 2003. It went on to become an international hit and reached number one in several countries. Another interesting fact is that the song also features in the movie "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous."

Radio classic, whole childhood in front of my eyes. Funny that this song just pops up in my head...

Oldschool immer beste! Die alten Lieder sind einfach die Geilsten und die meiste Musik von Heute ist einfach nur zum Kotzen! Ich vermisse die alten Zeiten, vor allem die 90er. :(
