One Hot Minute
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

I was riding
Riding on my bike
Me with my friend
We're so alike

Am I all alone
She said all we
Have is this
We just had to stop
And share a kiss

Am I all alone
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it

If I chase it I might waste it, come and spit it

Am I all alone
Am I all alone

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire

Close your eyes and click your heels
Can you believe how good it feels

Am I all alone
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
One hot minute and I'm in it come and get it
If I chase it I might waste it come and spit it

Am I all alone
Am I all alone

Sitting in the fire
Get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher
Maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
Breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire

Say goodbye to where you got it now
Pay your father, pay your twenty, take a bow
Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now
Pay your mamma, pay your father take a bow
Say goodbye to where you buy you got it now
Pay your father, pay your twenty, take a bow

Three pounds of love inside my skull
A million more lives it's never dull
Just a few times spun, spun around the sun
A couple more or less and then we're done

Sitting in the fire, I get along and have some fun
Floating to be higher, oh, maybe I'm your special one
Silent testifier
I'll breathe the moon and eat the sun
Sitting in the fire

Read Full BioThe Red Hot Chili Peppers is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Their music incorporates elements of alternative rock, funk, punk rock and psychedelic rock. The band consists of co-founders Anthony Kiedis (lead vocals) and Flea (bass), as well as drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist John Frusciante, the latter of whom has been in the band across three stints. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best-selling bands of all time. They are the most successful band in the history of alternative rock, with the records for most number-one singles (13), most cumulative weeks at number one (85) and most top-ten songs (25) on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. They have won six Grammy Awards, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, and in 2022 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers were formed in Los Angeles by Kiedis, Flea, guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. Due to commitments to other bands, Slovak and Irons did not play on the band's 1984 self-titled debut album, which instead featured guitarist Jack Sherman and drummer Cliff Martinez. Slovak rejoined for their second album, Freaky Styley (1985), and Irons for their third, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987). Irons left after Slovak died of a drug overdose in June 1988.

With new recruits Frusciante and Smith, the Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded Mother's Milk (1989) and their first major commercial success, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991). Frusciante was uncomfortable with their newfound popularity and left abruptly on tour in 1992. After a series of temporary guitarists, he was replaced by Dave Navarro, who appeared on the group's sixth album, One Hot Minute (1995). Although successful, the album failed to match the critical or popular acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Frusciante and Kiedis struggled with drug addiction throughout the 1990s.

In 1998, following Navarro's departure, Frusciante rejoined the band. Their seventh album, Californication (1999), became their biggest commercial success, with 16 million copies sold worldwide. By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006) were also successful; Stadium Arcadium was their first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Frusciante left again in 2009 to focus on his solo career; he was replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, who appeared on I'm with You (2011) and The Getaway (2016), before Frusciante rejoined in 2019. They released their 12th album, Unlimited Love, in 2022.

The Chili Peppers' mix of hard rock, funk and hip hop has influenced genres such as funk metal, rap metal, rap rock and nu metal. Kiedis said the band were early to combine "hardcore funk and hip-hop-style vocals", and suggested they had influenced Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock, and Linkin Park. Smith said, "Certainly Anthony's singing style and voice lends itself to being unique, and nobody sounds like him. The cool thing about it is we can play any style of music whether it's hard and fast, or loud or quiet, slow or medium, whatever it is; rock or funk, and it still sounds like us. I'm proud of that because sometimes bands don't have that strong personality where you go, 'Oh, that's boom, right away.'"

The Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame In April 2012. The induction lineup was Kiedis, Flea, Smith, Klinghoffer, Frusciante, Slovak (represented by his brother James), Irons and Martinez; Frusciante was invited, but did not attend. Navarro and Sherman were not inducted; Sherman said he felt "dishonored". The band performed "By the Way", "Give It Away" and "Higher Ground", which included Irons and Martinez on drums. It was the first time Kiedis and Flea had performed with Irons in more than 20 years.

In 2003, Rolling Stone released their first list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 310 and Californication at 399. In 2012, a revised list was released, with Californication at 401. In 2020, Rolling Stone released another version of the list, with Blood Sugar Sex Magik at 186 and Californication at 286.

The band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 31, 2022. George Clinton, Woody Harrelson and Bob Forrest unveiled the star at the ceremony.

I don’t tend to think in terms of albums because I usually listen on shuffle, and I love all their music. However in the past few days on going over BSSM and this album, wow. Deep funk here and I can visualize Anthony’s gorgeous self belting out lyrics. Pea is just plain touching (we heard it in Philly 9/3/22). Jewel has a similar song and I was recently unsurprised to learn that she & Flea are friends. But back to this album: glorious. We have high hopes for Return of the Dream Canteen.

i personally love this album, it's probably my favorite (i'm not saying the rest are bad or anything of the sort, they're amazing! bssm, jesus... i mean...), and it probably has to do with the fact that the sound, the textures, the rhythm, etc is just so different from everything else they did. this was a nice exploration on their part when john took a break... and it produced masterpieces such as warped, walkabout, aeroplane, etc... amazing album, just amazing.

The new album is pretty good too - it's actually better than everything else that was released after Californication, or at least after By the Way; they got their 90's funkiness back, which I really appreciate since I didn't like The Getaway and its crappy production - Chad Smith's drums sounded like hitting cardboard boxes on that album, and the overall sound was too poppy, "plastic" and un-organic, so I'm glad that they found the right path again on Unlimited Love instead of turning into a pop band. But there is still some good stuff on The Getaway, though, don't get me wrong (like Goodbye Angels), but I don't like the record as a whole since it is so, I will say - boring. Stadium Arcadium and I'm With You have an OK production, but there is too much filler material (songs like Animal Bar and Make You Feel Better from SA, and Happiness Loves Company and Dance, Dance, Dance from IWY are pretty awful - to me, they are the worst Chili Peppers songs like - ever, and the last three I mentioned also have the worst song titles as well; even the most cheesy radio-friendly crap can have better song titles than that, so I don't know what they were thinking), and as for By the Way, there is just too much balladry on that album for my taste (and on Stadium as well), but despite this, I think that there is still some really good material on there, but now, after first hearing Unlimited Love, which, at first listen, sounded to me like OHM's more chilled-out brother or something, it felt like this is now the band again I once loved (it took them only 20 years, LOL) - no bad songs on there and, like I said, they got their funkiness back, so it's a good comeback in my opinion. Well, the album still could have a heavier track in the middle of its first half, and I'm also not a fan of Anthony using autotune (or whatever effect it is) in some parts of Black Summer, but it's still a good album nonetheless. :)

This is THE best RHCP album! It is their artistic peak after so many years of hard work. They could not have gotten here without 'Blood, Sugar...' but structurally and thematically it is several steps above that album. These songs flow together like multiple dreams that turn out to be a single acid trip. Or vice versa! It is also the album that captures the end of the 90's (yes, great artists see the future 4 years before the 90's really end) and the last moments of culture not strongly affected by the internet, social media, and smartphones. 'Californication' would be the entrance of RHCP into the real mainstream therefore solidifying 'One Hot Minute' as true Art.

@Bandstand In what way?

Chris Wyatt Scott

@one FLOPS yeah, seems that way. I think bands like this end up using older ideas and material that they have (from when they were younger) to make new songs because they can’t come up with new stuff. Weezer is a much worse example of this. Just an idea from my intuitive mind though. I have no proof. :)

Man, This takes me back when music was all I was about. This is a great album. I loved the previous albums: Mother's milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but I think that the Chili Peppers had to make this album. I felt like it was full of emotion that had to be released. It also helped that I loved Jane's Addiction at the time and having the two bands combine was amazing for me. I absolutely love this album.

I had this album in real time. I didn't know anything about the JF/DN switch out. To me, it was just another RHCP album. What I dig about it the most is (bear in mind, I'm a fiend for those first 4 albums) that it isn't burnt out like BSSM and everything post Californication. This album is pretty much a "deep cut" album. It has a mystique. They don't play these live much, if at all. Radio doesn't burn this album out either. This was one of the last true gasps of funk and metal from the band. And I love it.

One Hot Minute may have been an album with dark themes and a bleak and harsh sound, as well as a more melancholy and depressing vibe than every other album, but this was a phase in the band's history and they have always mixed genres and experimented with various sounds and styles in their music. The band simply had a more negative and chaotic energy during this time as opposed to their usual positive and mellow energy and happy, peaceful vibe. It is great to see the gradual evolution of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in all of their musical phases whether light or dark.

I used to hate this album. Seeing the Warped music video and being a JF fanboy made me instantly throw this album out. But revisiting now with more maturity and removing my bias, this album is under-rated! It has funk all over it, although it is heavier. The guitar is electric but it hits. Navarro did bring a era of darkness with the chili peppers but the music is not all black. I love this album. Warped, coffee shop, one big mob, and deep kick are amongst my favs but the entire album is worth listening too. The energy is riveting. Hard to sit still listening to this.

While Californicatio remains the RHCP core staple amongst their albums, OHM and BSSM are in a tie for 2nd in my book

@M.L. Crow Thanks for all the thoughtful and respectful comments here; RHCP fans are the best. I just wanted to pipe in and say that it's news to me that BSSM is not universally considered their masterpiece. But that really just shows how stuck I am in my 90s teenager mindset. With such a long and varied discography, RHCP means so many different things to different people. To me, Californication and beyond is all "the new stuff", but I'm realizing how ridiculous that is, considering that it was released in 1999! Your posts here have inspired me to be more open minded. Much appreciated~

So coming back and listening to Youtube instead of pulling out my CDs, I am amazed that this album had so much controversy and stigma around it. (I was 15 when it came out) This was the album that made me fall in love with these guys. It was such fun. Not sure how else to describe it but it was just really vibrant and I loved how it flowed. Kinda ironic considering most of the subject matter.

Another Opinion

The only time I heard this in ‘95 I was on my way to the Chicago Shedd aquarium with a group of stoner friends, with the explicit and sole intention to trip on acid and look at giant tanks of swimming fish and blow our minds. I did trip on acid and looked at fish, and my mind was blown, and I freaked out, surrounded by busloads of field tripping Chicago schoolchildren, subsumed in the smell of stanky potential seafood, and I never listened to this album again until today. And I like it, 27 years later. That is all.

I got this CD at a Flea Market (har har) and had it in my car on rotation that summer. Always thought it was such an interesting mix of styles and as a youngster (Californication and JF’s Guitar on Scar Tissue was my entry point) did not get why it was so hated and Dave Navarro treated like a male Yoko Ono 😂. Maybe 90’s homophobia? It’s very different from the funkier predecessors but on its own it’s a pretty great sonic journey imo almost like a punk/funk rock opera. I’m more likely to listen to this in its entirety than Californication tbh. BSSM is hands down classic chili peppers but I dunno this one has a darker dramatic groove I feel as well. Too bad they’ll never play any of these songs live 😂

the Japanese band Maximum the Hormone definitely took alot of notes from this album in the best way possible. the heavier Peppers is such an underrated sound

I am reading “acid for the children” by flea……the book brings me back to this album because it confirms everything I thought. One hot minute is majorly influenced by Michael Balzary and his early adventures In Hollywood with A.k.

No wasted tracks. Every note and beat counts. Close to perfection. So epic.
Or just a couple of guys having fun, delivering funk.
Yea, this is fine funk.

Navarro sounds amazing here ... but lets be honest how does Frusciante sound in blood sugar? 🔝
This is defenitely under rated ... Deep kick 💣💣💣💣

I jumped on the hate-wagon when this album first came out. Never been a Dave Navarro fan. I listened to this album today and have a new respect for Navarro. A great timeless album!!

@Jaqueline Fidélis Adão I understand you. Yeah, some people are more fans of Frusciante than fans of RHCP in general and they don't really like albums without Frusciante.

Many people are not fans of Rhcp,are fans of John Frusciante. The more they hate Klinghoffer and Dave's work the more I love it. The Getaway is amazing to me

OHM is still my favorite Peppers' album (since 1995). The mixture of funk, metal, psychedelic rock,...is just badass for me. The fact many "RHCP fans" (or maybe Frusciante's fans) don't like or even hate this album makes me like it even more.

Love this album, it gets so much hate.

Albert Henley

Adiohead, right? I don't see where it's so bad. To me it's their version of the Beatles' albums Sgt Pepper or Revolver to me. More so Revolver with the psychedelic tease. Especially the first song. Maybe it's me but that song puts me in the mind of Tomorrow never knows.

Best rhcp record ever in my opinion.. not necessarily a popular view but there you go.. Dave Navarro is a guitar genius and this album is a masterpiece .. such a shame how it's gone thereafter.. They should listen back to 'shallow be thy game' now and be ashamed of themselves *)

paul d sheppard

@Nat Har Bssm IS a great album agreed although i could do without the robert johnson cover at the end.. nothing against that man i just think they should have left it off the album.. i guess its a more fun record i just think one hot minute is a bit deeper somehow *)

paul d sheppard

@Nat Har im guessing that that person probably also believes that the foo fighters are a superior band to nirvana. Maybe they like 21 pilots that sort of thing.. good for them *)

I bought this album back in 1997 or 99.
I remember learning to sing to Californication especially.
Pretty special are the RHCP.
So original while paying homage to funk and jazz and rap or whatever.
Original while always extending and bridging, exploring.

Haha! Did the exact same thing. I think I got PJ's Vitalogy, STP Core and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in the same shipment. For some reason they are all my favorite albums from each band...must be nostalgia.

I think the problem people have with this album is the fact that's it's a peppers album.if this album was done as a side project under a different band name I think it would have gotten better reception from the frusciante peppers fans.people need to remember frusciante was a huge Jane's addiction fan aswell.

Although I appreciate the experimentation on this album, for me personally, OHM is probably one of my least favorites. However, I respect others that feel this is their favorite. Some people prefer a hotter, spicier pepper with psychedelic undertones. I personally prefer a much cooler and gentler pepper taste that brings out deeper emotions. That’s what’s great about RHCP. A lot of their albums are so different and diverse from each other that there’s a flavor for everyone!
