An R&B-style cover of the song by Red Hot Chili Peppers which notably lacks the outro (“Under the bridge downtown…”). The first verse is also split with an additional chorus in the break, resulting in three verses instead of two.

[Verse 1: Melanie]
Sometimes, I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes, I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of cities
As lonely as I am, together we cry, we cry, we cry
[Chorus: Melanie with all]
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
[Verse 2: Natalie]
I drive on the streets 'cause he's my companion
I walk through his fields 'cause he knows who I am
He sees my good deeds and he kisses me windy
I never worry, now that is a lie
[Chorus: Natalie with all]
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
[Verse 3: Shaznay]
It's hard to believe there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have his love, the city, he loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
[Chorus: Shaznay with all]
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
I don't ever wanna feel like I did that day
Take me to the place I love, take me all the way
[Outro: Shaznay]
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
All the way
Under the Bridge was written by Chad Smith & Anthony Kiedis & John Frusciante & Flea.
Under the Bridge was produced by Nellee Hooper & K-Gee.
All Saints released Under the Bridge on Mon Apr 27 1998.
RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis was not keen on the final verse being omitted, as he felt that was the most poignant moment of the song.
It was kind of funny. [All Saints] looked so pretty and clean, it looked like they didn’t know what they were singing about.
