Californian Soil was preceded by three singles—"Baby It's You", the title track, and "Lose Your Head".

Composition

Vocalist Hannah Reid said the album deals with themes of feminism and fame. She wrote:

"This record is about gaining possession of my own life. You imagine success will be amazing. Then you see it from the inside and ask, 'Why am I not controlling this thing? Why am I not allowed to be in control of it? And does that connect, in any way to being a woman? If so, how can I do that differently?'".[2]

Release

The album was announced on 1 October 2020, alongside the release of the title track. The band said the track was a "turning point" for them, deciding to name the album after the song.

On 5 January 2021, the band posted on their Twitter page that the release date had been pushed back to 9 April of that same year. No reason was given.[3]
