Unlimited Love is the twelfth studio album by the American rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released through Warner Records on April 1, 2022. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album marks the second return of guitarist John Frusciante, who left the band in 2009 and rejoined in 2019. A second full studio album, Return of the Dream Canteen, was recorded during the same sessions and is scheduled for release on October 14, 2022.

The first single, “Black Summer”, was released on February 4, 2022, and became the Chili Peppers’ fourteenth number-one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. “These Are the Ways” followed on March 31, 2022. A world tour began in June 2022.

Unlimited Love received generally positive reviews. It debuted at number one in 16 countries, including the United States, where it was the Chili Peppers’ first number-one album since Stadium Arcadium (2006).

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, Unlimited Love has an average score of 71 based on 20 reviews, indicating “generally favorable reviews”.

Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone gave the album four out of five stars, writing: “more than anything, this record feels like a coming home. There’s a certain magic that happens with these four musicians, and Frusciante’s absence always leaves a piece of the puzzle missing.” Ali Shutler of NME gave the album four out of five stars, writing that “there’s a lot to ‘Unlimited Love’, both in scale and ambition. It’s at once familiar – without being boring – and fresh.”Clash rated the album 9/10, with reviewer Isabella Miller describing it as a “celebration of union, friendship, and life, all manifested across 17 tracks.” In a glowing review, Paolo Ragusa of Consequence praised the lyrics and musicianship, writing that it is “fascinating to hear a band nearly forty years into their career try to reach their audience in a different way.”

The music video for “Black Summer” won the Best Rock award in the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards and the band was also nominated for Group of the Year. The band now has 30 nominations at the MTV Video Music Awards since 1990 and these are their first nominations since 2006 when they were nominated for “Dani California”. The band also received the Global Icon Award and performed at the awards show.
