"West Coast" is a song by American pop rock band OneRepublic, released as a single on February 25, 2022, through Mosley Music Group and Interscope Records.

In 2015, while OneRepublic was undertaking their Native Tour and recording for their fourth album, Oh My My (2016), the band shared a short snippet of one of the project's future songs, called "West Coast".

[2][3] Tedder later reworked the song for OneRepublic's fifth studio album, Human, saying in 2020 that the track "it's like [The Mamas and the Papas] – California Dreamin' and [The Beach Boys], but with drums that are like [Gorillaz].

"West Coast" is an alternative pop[7] and electropop song,[2] with influences of from the sound of bands the Beach Boys, the Mamas & the Papas and Gorillaz.

[15] Kristin Smith of Plugged In compared "West Coast" melody with Adele's 2013 single "Skyfall", "except with a much faster beat and nowhere near as depressing", also pointing Tedder's songwriting, "this song is all about running from the blues that comes from a breakup, while also fleeing the winter blahs to find much warmer days–both figuratively and literally".

[7] Emily Harris of Global Music Group wrote that Tedder's vocals in bridge have similarities with "Skyfall", adding "'West Coast' is brimming with confidence.

Also, while the band’s typical pop sound is audible in the mix, each member of the group manages to bring fresh new components to the forefront; including a string section in the prelude and a soulful groove that emerges as the track goes".
