First mentioned onstage by Flea and Kiedis alongside the announcement of the full album in Denver, Colorado, "Tippa My Tongue" is an upbeat funk rock song. Drummer Chad Smith described the track's influences as: "It's got P-Funk in it. I hear George [Clinton] in it, and some Hendrixy kind of licks." [3]
The music video for the song was directed by Malia James. [4] The psychedelic imagery of the video was described as "trippy" by Louder [5] and NME . [6] Far Out Magazine described the setting as "a psychedelic world filled with geometric shapes and technicolour hues." [7]
Nearly five months after its release, the song made its live debut on January 14, 2023, at the iHeartRadio ALTer Ego music festival in Inglewood, CA.

"Warped" is a song by American alternative rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1995 album, One Hot Minute. It was released as the first single from the album in August 1995. It is the first track on One Hot Minute, beginning with an unusually quiet intro, before suddenly kicking into a very heavy, crunching riff, and ends with a mellow, melodic outro. Anthony Kiedis' vocals are distorted and echoed throughout, and contrast dramatically with the rapping present on the band's previous material, especially on their more fast-paced songs such as this; short lines are stretched to fill an entire measure. The musical style is of an unpredictable and unsettling nature, which is generally maintained throughout the entire album. The lyrics describe Kiedis' confused feelings about drugs, starting already in the first lines with: "my tendency/for dependency/is offending me".
