"Anthony Kiedis" was the fourth single released leading up to Remi Wolf's debut studio album "Juno".
"I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anthony Kiedis doesn’t have that much to do with the song other than I was reading his memoir at the time, and he talked a lot about his relationship with his dad. I was inspired by that. The song is really about everything that I was going through in COVID and the way I was viewing myself at the time."

Entertainment Weekly asked Wolf about the song during an interview:
What's the story behind your song "Anthony Kiedis"? Are you a big Chili Peppers fan?
"Yes, I am a huge Chili Peppers fan! I've been a fan since I was in high school. I think they were one of the bands that really broke my brain when I was little. But the song "Anthony Kiedis" started when I was reading his memoir, Scar Tissue. I was so fascinated by his relationship with his dad. His dad did all this crazy s— when he was — younger he was a drug dealer and kind of pimped him out a little bit — but he still has so much undying love for him. When I wrote that song, I was in a place where I was really thinking about my relationship to my family and family dynamics and what that means, so in the song I sing, "I love my family intrinsically, like Anthony Kiedis." But I do f—ing love the Chili Peppers. Anthony Kiedis' writing style is so freeform. He just says whatever the f— he wants, and I'm very inspired by that."
