Hot 100 in the wake of the huge success of the record’s second single “Under the Bridge”. In 1992 the single charted inside the top 75 of the U.S. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks in late 1991, giving the band their first ever number one single. While several radio stations initially refused to air the song because they felt it lacked melody, “Give It Away” went on to achieve international fame. Vocalist Anthony Kiedis wrote the song’s most prevalent lyrical refrain in response to an experience he shared with former girlfriend Nina Hagen regarding altruistic behavior and the value of selflessness. The music was written by guitarist John Frusciante and bassist Flea during a jam session months prior to the album recording sessions. Little did they all know that from Blood Sugar Sex Magik forward, Rick Rubin would produce every album released and be a very close friend of the band. “Give It Away” was the lead single off Blood Sugar Sex Magik, the fifth studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their first with Warner Bros Records and producer Rick Rubin.
