The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie (4:42)

Cover of I’m With You

From I’m With You and 2 other releases

According to The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie Songfacts, the song originated with a specific exercise where Flea set out to write a classic bass line. Klinghoffer added guitar and drummer Chad Smith a backbeat with extended cowbell to what became a mostly instrumental hour-long jam. Kiedis liked what he heard and added semi-improvised lyrics.

The single was anticipated to be released on 18 July 2011 but was leaked on 15 July 2011, the band had little concern over that and decided to release it early.

    I'm going to be honest and say that I really don't like this song. One of the few RHCP tracks I actually dislike. Sorry, it's just so... lame.

    To be honest, there are better songs even on IWY.

    Anyone else think of Cake's Love You Madly when they heard the bassline?

    I like this a lot, it's slow, but who gives a fuck, not all their songs have to be upbeat

    The only thing missing is a solo by Mr Frusciante, that would make this a great song. [2]

    hm - I don't like this song to much. I mean the verse and the baseline are great and funky but the chorus is very party-pop-like and just annoying - it kills this song

    the guitar in the chorus reminds me of george harrison's my sweet lord
