The Getaway is the eleventh studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released through Warner Bros. on June 17, 2016.[4] It is the band's only studio album since 1989's Mother's Milk to not be produced by Rick Rubin, instead being produced by Danger Mouse, as well as the second and final album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante would both return to the band three years later.[5]
The Getaway made its debut at number one in ten different countries while reaching number two in the band's home country of the United States along with the United Kingdom and Canada. The album received generally favorable reviews.
The album was preceded by the first single "Dark Necessities" on May 5, 2016.[6] "Go Robot" was released as the album's second single on September 8, 2016, peaking at number 12 on the Alternative Songs Chart, while "Sick Love" was released as the third single on December 4, 2016; however, it failed to chart.
