Maddie Poppe - Nothing Good Comes Out Of California Lyrics

Hope she will rise also like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood 🙌💖😍

She is talking about a VERY specific part of California (LA), and even a very specific part of LA, which is the part that people trying to make it in music or movies see. That's not the part the natives see, and the people who live and work in that part of LA usually aren't natives. I know most people not native to CA make this mistake, but you can't use CA and LA interchangeably. Southern CA is like a whole different state to someone like me, who grew up in Northern CA. There's quite a bit of rivalry there, actually, and while I do think a lot of good comes out of LA and Southern CA, it always irks me a little bit that people think LA (Hollywood specifically) is the sum total of California. We don't even have the same weather, for god's sake! Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

FOXFIRE LIVES I agree

California is wonderful. There's a reason why people come here. Y'all are just jealous. Well bless your heart.

I’m from Iowa wishing I lived in Cali.

Discovered this lady from her featured track with American Authors, and I gotta say holy hell did I just discover the happy Amy Lee?

Holy crap! Everything good comes out of Maddie

I live like a few blocks away from ya!

Iowan here!! Hometown girl you made us proud! Thank you Maddie!

Love your music. Your are very talented. Just be you.

1. Maddie Poppe as a person seems sweet and genuine; obviously her voice is amazing.
2. I see how more words rhyme with "California" than "Los Angeles"...
3. Growing up in a small farm town in California, I am a country girl at heart, so the lyrics of this song do not resinate, but i can see how most people relate California to Los Angeles.
4. I believe everything happens for the best and so only good comes out of all things [: 
5. I will move along and continue listening to Maddie's positive songs <3

This song is meant to be positive, you are right it's LA not all of CA but the message I think that's meant to come out of it is small town midwestern people have negative stereotypes about the big city that aren't true "Guess I'll have to write a song that makes my hometown sing along, the cynics and critics I'll prove them wrong..."

There’s NOTHING like Growing Up in the Midwest! AMERICAS HEARTLAND!!!

HERMOSA CANCIÓN. <3

nothing good IS IN California......

She has purple hair now...

...MADDE POPPE in her song 'NOTHING GOOD COMES OUT OF CALIFORNIA" ... "you'll get tattoed and PURPLE HAIR you'll miss the Friday Niights and the County Fair and that's the city" ...

Richard Dodge proceeds to play a show at the Butler County Fair lol. I’m also from Butler County along with Maddie.

So spicy!

Love it!!!

Feels like she is the new age shania twain

Absolutely love this song, and the album. So excellent!!!

Who else who keeps listening to the songs on this album over and over? It's awesome!

A very timely song! I so totally love your Midwest roots and lyrics! I just hope you find a way around the stiletto deals! Love your heart!

These songs have so much replay-ability

Love this song!! Sticking to your roots, don’t let fame change you Maddie!!

Every song on this album is so good ToT

Grew up in San Diego. So loved it then. It wasn't expensive or overcrowded way back then. I love this song and I don't live in California anymore.

This has my favorite lyrics of any song on the album. The wordplay is so much fun -- and there is SO much imagery. I mean I guess I should expect that, given the fact that Tom Douglas (of "The House That Built Me" fame) is a co-writer! I'd love an acoustic/country version one day!

Such a beautiful song!!! Very unique and true!!!! :')

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯

I Like this song🎶👏👏👏

❤California native here and I'm not offended, 😂👍 I love it! 🎵🎶

Dig it 👍

Perfect road trip song!! Loving this album!!

So proud your so inspirational and beautiful and amazing and talented congrats. Best album ever. Great voice

Amazing song

Way to go Maddie!

Love it ❤️

Like it. Best song I've heard so far. Nice words, vibe, and vocal timing.. I like the overall diss of cali. Haha.

Perfect but i was born in california and was fortunate to move to montana..country girl always.. great song again

Written by Nashville which is Calif south.

I love it!

Simply Amazing!!!!

👏👏👏💖💖💖

I’m an Iowa girl! Proud farm girl 👧🏼 🥰

Katie Recker SAAAAMMMEEE GO HAWKS/CYCLONES!!!

SAME GIRL

Go Buy Maddie's album just released   http://hollywoodrecs.co/whirlwinddl

Love this song Maddie.

But I love Cali 🌸

She sings near the end that she will prove that good things can come out od CA.. not those exact words but listen near the end

This is one of my favorites, Maddie! This album NEEDS to go to the TOP of the CHARTS!!!!!

Great great song. Its like finally someone wrote a reply to “it never rains in southern california”. I love this song

Wow!!! You go girl.  Amazing.

What a great song! Very accurate picture of how many people in the Midwest and South feel about California (and probably New York)

*Oh my fucking God this is art*

Reminds me of a Miley song

which one?

Should’ve sang this at the Dodgers game 😂. Love it!

A bop just came out of Iowa

Maddie, I can't believe how good every single song is!!! This is classic, amazing, sing-along music. Wishing you the best of luck, girl. Hope your label does right by you.

Awesome song and love all of her songs🌹

As a Nebraska girl who’s been to big cities, I can so relate. I’m feeling my roots right now.

It is a good song. Anyone know if she wrote it?

She co wrote all of them

Just awesome!

FAAANTASTIC!!!!!!? LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!!!!

Great song about people's perception vs reality and how it didn't change Ms. Poppe!

Agree!!

Yo... Another hit song .... #bigfan #loveya 😍🎵👍

❤❤❤

You've made ME proud!

I am here from day 1 of American Idol to this day. I will always support till the whole world knows how awesome she is! ♥️ This is real music 🎵 ♥️

*Have a lovely day!* ⌚⌚

👍Something great, just came out of, Clarksville Iowa

Mark Antonio Juarez Thats such a Ryan Seacrest thing to say! I swear I heard his voice saying this as I read it 😅

Lol there’s so much talent in Iowa. Maddie grew up just 20 miles from me, I’m from Greene, Iowa.

If the debut album is this good then I can just predict great things for us fans and you

Great song! It hits home....a California girl from birth, I finally fled to the midwest! Best people on the planet here!

Same here, but, I flew to the northwest! People are pretty decent here, only if you overlook the weird ones.

@Carol Mack ...the Pacific Northwest has become Californicated. When I was a kid it was a wonderful place. The whole west coast has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Amazing!!! ❤️

Small town Oklahoma girl with big dreams.... this song is so relatable, Maddie! I thought wildflowers was my favorite, but this one took it to a whole new level!

She's from Iowa

D H I know. I’m from Oklahoma. I can relate because Oklahoma is super rural too.

I thought Wildflowers was my fave too, but this one is even better.

This is totally a great song!!!

OK, did she just skip to a greatest hits album with this one? I can’t find the filler song anywhere. Too good.

Rex Racer thank you so much!! I wanted every song to be special. A lot that didn’t make the cut, but would still love to release some day.

Maddie Poppe: Greatest Hits Vol 2! Congrats on this one. It was worth the wait.

@Maddie Poppe Hi Maddie I luv all your songs. Please give me a heart. So I know you saw this. Thanks. 😀

Wow Maddie replied to you. That's so awesome.

Oleysia Ogren: Yeah, she’s very genuine, like her music. Peace to you!

So true lol

Very good song.

So goooooooooood👌

I LOVE YOU MADDIE!!💙

This is my new favorite

great song! so proud of you!!
