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.
