"Californication" is the Red Hot chilli Peppers' fourth single and sixth track from their 1999 seventh studio album, Californication. Released in 2000, the song reached #69 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA, and #16 on the UK charts, and hit #1 on both US Mainstream Rock Tracks and US Modern Rock Tracks. It is notable for its sparse combination of guitar and bass notes in the main riff; guitarist John Frusciante drew inspiration from The Cure song "Carnage Visors". The artwork from the single is used on the iTunes re-release of the album of the same name.
