‘Under the Bridge’ by Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on September 24, 1991. The song was written by Vocalist Anthony Kiedis, the rest of the band wrote the music. The song expresses the feelings of loneliness and despondency, and to reflect on narcotics and their impact on his life. Kiedis initially did not feel "Under the Bridge" would fit into the Chili Peppers' repertoire and was reluctant to show it to his band mates until producer Rick Rubin implored him to do so. The song became a critical and commercial success, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. David Fricke of Rolling Stone said the song "unexpectedly drop-kicked the band into the Top 10", while Philip Booth of The Tampa Tribune commented that it was a "pretty, undulating, and by-now omnipresent single." Its success led in part to the departure of guitarist John Frusciante, who preferred the band to remain underground. ‘Under the Bridge’ follows ‘Give It Away’ as the band's second most performed live song, having been performed over 600 times.
