"These Are the Ways" is a song by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers that was released on March 31, 2022, and is the second single from their twelfth studio album, Unlimited Love.[2]
A music video was released simultaneously with the single, directed by Malia James and with the participation of Dina Shihabi. The video finds Anthony Kiedis leading cops on a wild chase through backyards, house parties, in and out of apartments and past paparazzi after stealing items from a convenience store. Flea's wife, Melody Ehsani, also makes an appearance in the video along with stunt coordinator Airon Armstrong (who played Michael Myers in Halloween Kills) as one of the cops.[3] [4] [5] [6]
The song made its live debut on April 1, 2022, on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
