Judging by the song, one would expect hot chicks, a jeep ride alongside the beach shores, palm trees and topless hunky men, but instead Perry takes her idea of the California girl through a journey in Candyland (or ‘Candyfornia’ as styled in the actual video), widely referencing key spots of the Golden coast.

Regardless of the little choreography towards the creamy climax of the video, Katy’s unrehearsed flirts, spontaneity and flamboyant personality add a lot to the carefree summery celebration the single entails. The stylization of the bejeweled daisy dukes, the squooshy bikini tops and the real candy confectioned attires are all fabulous and extravagant, as well as the Will Cotton-inspired landscape throughout the video, which despite being mostly green screen with computer generated imagery, does not look cheap at all.
