The music video was filmed with the band playing in an art room, where artists are in the middle of painting a mural artwork, directed by Tom Stern and Alex Winter. The song was recorded after Chad Smith joined the band as the drummer, however, on this record, drums are played by Fishbone's Philip "Fish" Fisher and was the first song John Frusciante recorded with the band. When the song is played backwards, the voice heard at the start is Anthony Kiedis clearly singing the chorus. This song also features a trumpet solo by Flea. A slightly longer version of the song was featured on the soundtrack for the film 'Say Anything...' starring Kiedis's girlfriend at the time, Ione Skye. The single contained two original B-sides. "Show Me Your Soul" was recorded during the 'Mother's Milk' sessions and was also later released as a single in 1990 when it was featured on the soundtrack for the film 'Pretty Woman'. "Millionaires Against Hunger" was recorded during the 1985 'Freaky Styley'. The single reached number twenty-nine in the UKthe highest position for the band up to that point. Live performancesDespite being a popular single for the band, the song was rarely performed by the band and it hasn't been performed since 1990 during the Mother's Milk tour.
