Watch the official music video for “Around the World” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, from their 1999 album Californication. Released as the album’s second single, the song combines Flea’s explosive funk basslines, John Frusciante’s guitar work, and Anthony Kiedis’ rapid-fire vocals with one of the band’s most recognizable melodic choruses. “Around the World” reached No. 7 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart and remains a defining recording from the band’s late-1990s era. Directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, the official music video features Red Hot Chili Peppers performing against a series of colorful, abstract backdrops, with dynamic camera movements, surreal imagery, and rapid visual transitions. The video’s energetic, experimental style reflects the band’s return to prominence with Californication and the creative chemistry of Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. 🔔 Subscribe to Red Hot Chili Peppers: https://youtube.com/c/RedHotChiliPeppers/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to Californication: http://smarturl.it/getrhcpcalifornica Released in June 1999 and produced by longtime collaborator Rick Rubin, Californication marked the return of guitarist John Frusciante and became one of the band’s most successful albums. Blending their funk rock roots with a more melodic alternative rock sound, the album features major hits including “Scar Tissue,” “Otherside,” and “Californication.” As the opening track on Californication, “Around the World” helped introduce the album’s balance of high-energy funk rock and melodic songwriting.
