Background
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]
Music video
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]
Live performances
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.
