Kiedis detailed the tune’s evolution in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, noting the way it originated with an thought from bassist Flea.
“[He] had put collectively a drum machine and bass tune in his cobweb-covered storage,” the singer mentioned. “It was not what you hear in the present day for ‘Not the One’ as a result of the bridge was the verse and the refrain was the bridge, and it was utterly inverted. Each day after band observe, I journey dwelling and I take heed to what we have accomplished that day over and over and again and again hoping that it sparks one thing or that I hear the appropriate melody or one thing, something. In that case, I began listening to that total tune on the method dwelling however utterly inverted from the way in which he had organized it.
“If you begin one thing, you get a bit bit married to it,” he continued. “I got here within the subsequent day and I mentioned, ‘Flea, I do know this isn’t what you had in thoughts, however is all of it proper if I sing the verse over the refrain and the refrain over the bridge?’ He is like, ‘Yeah, do no matter you need.’ I used to be like, ‘Actually?’ He is like, ‘Yeah, yeah, no matter’ … as a result of he wrote a ravishing factor. I assumed possibly he wished to maintain it because it was written. On this explicit day, he was so supportive, and that was tremendous useful. I feel I used to be going by a really lonely and introspective month. This thought got here out about ‘I feel I know who you’re, however possibly I do not. You suppose you already know who I’m, however possibly you do not.’ And particularly in intimate relationships, we all know all of us current one thing and other people all the time have an thought, however what would occur if we simply confirmed one another our very worst from the very begin?”

“Once we began writing materials, we started by taking part in outdated songs by individuals like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, the Kinks, the New York Dolls, Richard Barrett and others,” the guitarist mentioned in a press release saying the file. “Ever so step by step, we began bringing in new concepts, and turning jams into songs, and after a few months, the brand new stuff was all we have been taking part in. The sensation of easy enjoyable we had once we have been taking part in songs by different individuals stayed with us the entire time we have been writing, and for me, this file represents our love for and religion in one another.”
Detailing how it spent “hundreds of hours” getting ready for the periods, the band famous its solely objective was “to get misplaced within the music.”
“Every of the songs on our new album Limitless Love is a aspect of us, reflecting our view of the universe,” they wrote. “That is our life’s mission. We work, focus and put together in order that when the most important wave comes, we’re able to journey it. The ocean has gifted us a mighty wave and this file is the journey that’s the sum of our lives.”
