Songfacts®:

  • Anthony Kiedis said of this song: "I sing more about a feeling than an idea, it's kind of a dream, the whole lyrics is kind of a dream which take place 3000 years ago. Not time-specific, it's kind of time travel, just going back to a different time and place... You know, not being in reality 3000 years ago, but a dream 3000 years ago. The 'We Believe' concept is just about belief and the importance in believing." >>

  • Because of the song's African feel, the working title was "Fela Funk," named after Nigerian musician Fela Kuti.
  • Stadium Arcadium, the band's ninth studio album, won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2007. It was also their first album to hit #1 in the US.
