[[Anthony Kiedis]] of the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] claimed he had a relationship with O'Connor in 1990 and wrote the song "[[I Could Have Lied]]" about the experience. O'Connor denied this, saying "I never had a relationship with him, ever. I hung out with him a few times and the row we had was because he suggested we might become involved. I don't give a shit about the song he wrote."<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 July 2012 |title=Sinéad: I was never red hot for Chili Peppers frontman |url=https://www.independent.ie/life/sinead-i-was-never-red-hot-for-chili-peppers-frontman/26870977.html |access-date=30 July 2023 |website=Independent.ie |language=en |url-status=live |archive-date=30 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230730223109/https://www.independent.ie/life/sinead-i-was-never-red-hot-for-chili-peppers-frontman/26870977.html}}</ref>
