"Queen of California" followed "Shadow Days" as the second single from Born and Raised, John Mayer's fifth studio album, which Columbia put out in May 2012. Mayer wrote it alone, sings it and produced it with Don Was, with Chad Franscoviak engineering, and the credits tell you where his head was at: Greg Leisz's pedal steel steers it straight into country-rock territory, all open road and easy sway. The video premiered on YouTube on July 30, 2012.
