"Underground" comes from The Great Escape Artist, released on Capitol in October 2011 as Jane's Addiction's first album since Strays in 2003 and, as it turned out, their last studio album. Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek share the writing credit, and Sitek plays bass alongside Chris Chaney as well as keyboards, with Navarro on guitar and keys, Perkins on percussion and Farrell singing.

Rich Costey produced, recorded and mixed it, with Farrell co-producing, and Costey came away calling it a true Jane's Addiction record. Farrell, for his part, pitched the album as the band's old post-punk goth darkness crossed with what the likes of Muse and Radiohead were up to, driven by his urge to keep moving forward.
