I ( Kiedis ) took the mic and belted out Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now. 28 The philosophy behind the lyrics came from a conversation that Kiedis had with Nina Hagen, regarding selflessness and how insignificant material possessions were in his life.

The albums subject matter incorporates sexual innuendos and references to drugs and death, as well as themes of lust and exuberance.

The album propelled the Red Hot Chili Peppers into worldwide popularity and critical acclaim, although guitarist John Frusciante quit the band mid-tour in 1992 (returning in 1998) due to his inability to cope with the bands newly found superstardom.

He convinced Frusciante to play with an overall heavier tone, and instructed Anthony Kiedis to write lyrics that would be more radio-viable, thus causing the band to feel restricted creatively.

The group reached a consensus to go with Sony BMGEpic, with the proviso that they buy out their last album from EMI.

Though the label promised it would take only a few days, the process stretched out into several months.

Although a deal had been made with SonyEpic, Mo Ostin of Warner Bros.

Records called Kiedis to congratulate him on the successful deal, and complimented the rival record label.

Kiedis recalled of the situation: The coolest, most real person we had met during all these negotiations had just personally called to encourage me to make a great record for a rival company.

That was the kind of guy Id want to be working for.

The group pursued the idea, and eventually dropped the contract with Sony in favor of a deal with Warner Bros.

Ostin called an old friend at EMI, who immediately allowed for the label transfer.

Records, the Chili Peppers began looking for a suitable producer.

He would often help arrange drum beats, guitar melodies and lyrics.

Rubin suggested the mansion magician Harry Houdini once lived in, to which they agreed.

The Peppers decided they would remain inside the mansion for the duration of recording, though according to Kiedis, Smith was convinced the location was haunted, and refused to stay.

He would, instead, come each day by motorcycle.

Smith himself disputes this account, and instead claims the real reason he did not stay at The Mansion was because he wanted to be with his wife.

Frusciante, however, disagreed with Smith, and said There are definitely ghosts in the house, but he felt they were very friendly.

We the band have nothing but warm vibes and happiness everywhere we go in this house.

When not recording with the band, Frusciante would spend his time painting, listening to music, reading and recording songs hed written.

Due to the seclusion, Kiedis ended up recording all his vocals in his room, as it was large enough to accommodate the recording equipment.

For more than 30 days, the Chili Peppers worked inside the house; Kiedis felt it was an accommodating and resourceful environment which allowed him to complete the rest of the lyrics.

During production, the band agreed to let Fleas brother-in-law document the creative process on film.

When the albums recording was complete, the Chili Peppers released the film, titled Funky Monks.

Rubin asked Kiedis to write a song solely about girls and cars.

Also, he suggested that Kiedis would show it to the bands other members.

However, Kiedis was apprehensive because he thought the lyrics were too soft and different from the bands style.

After singing the verse to Frusciante and Smith, the band started working on the songs structure the next day.

Both Rubin and Kiedis worked several hours on arranging the songs chords and melodies until they both accepted it as complete.

Frusciante ultimately chose the chords he played in the intro so it could balance out the songs depressing atmosphere: my brain interpreted it as being a really sad song so I thought if the lyrics are really sad like that I should write some chords that are happier.

The Chilli Peppers even played once at the end of the Mothers Milk Tour in 1990, while the intros for The Greeting Song and Sir Psycho Sexy were also teased during the end of that tour; however, neither song was completed or had lyrics.

When you play less, its more excitingtheres more room for everything.

If I do play something busy, it stands out, instead of the bass being a constant onslaught of notes.

Space is good. 26 Kiedis thought that the album had expanded the Chili Peppers musical horizons and served as a departure from their previous material.

One of Blood Sugar Sex Magik s more melodic tracks, Breaking the Girl, was written about Kiedis constantly shifting relationships.

He feared that he was following in his fathers footsteps and simply becoming a womanizer, rather than establishing stable and long-term relationships: 21 As exciting and temporarily fulfilling as this constant influx of interesting and beautiful girls can be, at the end of the day, that shit is lonely and youre left with nothing.

The track also featured a bridge in the middle, consisting of percussion instruments salvaged from a garbage dump.

One specific jam caused the breakout song on the album: Frusciante, Flea, and Smith were all playing togetherwith Kiedis at another part of the room watchingwhen Flea started playing this insane bass line, and Chad cracked up and played along.

I always had fragments of song ideas or even specific isolated phrases in my mind.

I ( Kiedis ) took the mic and belted out Give it away, give it away, give it away, give it away now.
