In the June 2006 issue of UK Classic Rock magazine, Flea said in an interview "We mainly did eras, not actual people: rockabilly, British Invasion, 60s psychedelic, glam, funk, punk, goth, hair metal, grunge, and ourselves being the sum of all those parts".

In "Dani California", lyricist Anthony Kiedis continues the character of "Dani, the girl" from the 2002 single "By the Way", and she is also mentioned as the "teenage bride with a baby inside" on 1999's single "Californication", though was never referred to by name.

Kiedis has mentioned previously that the character of Dani California represents all the women he has ever dated. Kiedis said "When this funky groove came up it struck me as a perfect place to actually tell a story. It sort of revealed itself to me that its been the same character, just kind of developing. At first I didn't realize that I was writing about the same girl."

There is a video clip of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members discussing Dani California and who she is, available on their official website. http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/
