"Look Around"
Song

"Look Around" is a song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 2011 album I'm with You and is the album's third single while "Did I Let You Know" will be exclusively released in Brazil as the third single. The music video was released on January 25, 2012. On the band's website, however, it leaked a day early.[1] The song is available for download on iTunes and a two track promo single was released, but no other info on a proper CD single has been released.

On December 2, 2011, drummer Chad Smith confirmed "Look Around" as the next single when he posted a photo on his Twitter page of his drum set and a toilet saying it was from the "Look Around" video. The photo was meant to be a joke, but confirmed the song as the next single and a video was in the process of being made.[2]

The song has been heavily played on the tour so far making it the third most played song from the album behind the first two singles. On November 22, 2011, the band performed a three song set on a UK television show which featured the first two singles along with "Look Around" which at the time further fueled rumors of the song being the next single. The song was also briefly featured in a commercial for the Simon Cowell show, The X Factor.

Music video

On December 5, 2011, Flea confirmed news about the video and that the band's work on the video was completed. He posted on his Twitter page "We made a video for Look Around the other day very excited about it, it was the funnest shoot ever."[3]

On January 17, 2012, the band released a behind the scenes video for "Look Around" exclusively for those who download their free smartphone application.[4]

The video shows each band member in four different rooms to reflect their own personalities. Almost all the props and artwork in the video are from each band member's personal collection. In Anthony's room, model Charlotte Free, his dog and son Everly are featured. Flea is seen in his room dancing around in his underwear with current girlfriend, Sandha Khin, also in her underwear. Chad's room is a bathroom where his seat is a toilet and there is also a punching bag. Josh's room is very dark and empty with just a table and lamp.

The video was directed by Robert Hales with Alejandro Lalinde as director of photography.
