- ‘Black Summer’ (2022) It took 16 years for the band’s first new song with Frusciante, but Unlimited Love’s “Black Summer” was totally worth the wait. The wayward guitarist brought the song structure with him when he rejoined the Chili Peppers, and Kiedis, Flea, and Smith jumped on it.
- ‘This Velvet Glove’ (1999) When the rhythm section crashes in on the chorus, it’s a respite from the verses’ plaintive melancholy, but the truest form of this Californication track evokes the image of Kiedis and Frusciante unplugged, perched on stools facing each other, as if making amends.
- ‘Dark Necessities’ (2016) In their own way, the Chili Peppers have never been strangers to brooding nights of the soul, and the kick-off single from 2016’s The Getaway wallows in them: “You don’t know my mind/Dark necessities are part of my design,” Kiedis sings.
- ‘Fight Like a Brave’ (1987) A funky declaration of freedom, “Fight Like a Brave” is Kiedis’ call-to-arms for anyone struggling with addiction. “Get it through your head and get it off your chest,” he raps, “Or get it out your arm because it’s time to start fresh.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers. We went in search of ourselves as the band that we have somehow always been. Just for the fun of it we jammed and learned some old songs. Before long we started the mysterious process of building new songs. A beautiful bit of chemistry meddling that had befriended us hundreds of times along the way.
