The writing and creation of the band's next album, By the Way began immediately following the end of Californication's world tour, in spring 2001 Before recording By the Way in 2002, the Chili Peppers decided that they would again have Rick Rubin produced the newest album. In the past, Rubin had given the band creative freedom on their recording material and allowed them to have fun while in the studio this was something they thought was essential for the album to be unique, and could only occur with Rick Rubin’s return. By the Way was released on July 9, 2002 and produced four singles; "By the Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Can't Stop" and "Universally Speaking". The album was their most famous album to date, focusing mainly on melody based ballads as opposed to their classic rap-driven funk.
