"Going Back to Cali" is a song recorded by rapper The Notorious B.I.G. and Puff Daddy (uncredited) from the album Life After Death. The song is noted as one of Biggie's popular songs from the album, well known for its catchy hook and beat. The song contains a sample of Zapp hit "More Bounce to the Ounce".
The song is about Smalls returning to Los Angeles and the West Coast. It begins with Puff Daddy and Smalls in a telephone conversation in which Daddy is telling Smalls that he needs to get ready for a flight to Los Angeles. Smalls sounding like he's just woken up from being asleep. The second verse opens up with Smalls' thoughts on the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry and his relationship with the West Coast.
Harlem rapper Mase (who was associated with Biggie) recorded a cover version of the song named "Going Back To Harlem".
The song is heavily sampled in E-40's song "Bust Moves" featuring labelmates Big Omeezy and Droop-E, the latter of whom is E-40's son, from his 2012 album The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 1.
