Songfacts®:

  • This song is about the rock-star relationship with many different women.
  • This song was shortened from the original version, and the booklet for the One Hot Minute album contains extra lyrics to the song. The second verse was shortened, and originally contained the lyrics, "A tiny wink is all, all we have. No, it's not much more, but don't get mad."
  • Like "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," this song was the namesake for the album despite not being released as a single, or being a featured song on the album.
  • The Red Hot Chili Peppers stopped playing this, along with every other song from One Hot Minute, when Dave Navarro left the band. The band says Dave's playing style does not fit in with John Frusciante's style, and the songs don't fit in with their show. >>>
