How do you kiss a girl?

"Breaking the Girl" is a single released by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1992, taken from the 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It is a melodic and emotional ballad that refers to a turbulent relationship between frontman Anthony Kiedis and his then girlfriend, and their subsequent break-up shortly before the recording of Blood Sugar Sex Magik began. It appears on the album as the third track, notably between two groove-laden funk numbers "If You Have to Ask" and "Funky Monks". The bridge of the song makes unique and heavy use of percussion instruments, which had in fact been randomly taken by drummer Chad Smith from a junkyard for himself, Anthony and Flea to utilize.
