"Warped" is the opening track and lead single from Red Hot Chili Peppers' sixth studio album, One Hot Minute, released in August 1995 by Warner Bros. Records. The song features an understated beginning that transitions into a heavy, distorted guitar riff, concluding with a softer melodic section. Kiedis' vocals are heavily processed with distortion and echo effects, representing a stylistic shift from the band's previous rap-influenced approach. The track exemplifies the album's unpredictable and unsettling musical aesthetic.
