This song is ostensibly about sex, but it could also be about being and thinking you are the best. It was written by lead singer Anthony Kiedis and guitarist John Frusciante. Both had been addicted to heroin in the past - one of the effects of heroin is getting the feeling that you are invincible because you feel no pain.
Guitarist John Frusciante fashioned the guitar solo in this song on Steve Howe's guitar solo at the end of Yes song "Siberian Khatru."
Frusciante came up with the rhythm after listening to some old-school Public Enemy just before heading into a Chili Peppers jam session. The same unspecified song inspired the Stadium Arcadium track "Storm In A Teacup."
