"Warning" was the third single Incubus pulled from Morning View, their fourth album, released in 2001, and it's the band at its most spacious. Scott Litt co-produced with the group and mixed it with Rick Will, and the sound floats: Mike Einziger's guitar ripples and glints, Dirk Lance and José Pasillas keep a patient, rolling pulse, Chris Kilmore's turntable adds grit around the edges, and Brandon Boyd's voice glides easily over the top.

Francis Lawrence shot the video in Sydney, and it follows that thread: a girl in a hoodie drifts through airports, classrooms and supermarkets without seeing anybody, until at 10:23 every morning she lets loose a scream that lasts a full minute. The single climbed to No. 3 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
