"Monarchy of Roses" followed "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" as the second single from I'm with You, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 2011 album, and the writing credit goes to Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer. Rick Rubin produced; Greg Fidelman recorded it with Ryan Hewitt and Andrew Scheps and handled the mix, and Mauro Refosco and Lenny Castro fill in the percussion.

Its rollout had a comic wrinkle. During a BBC Radio 2 interview that September, host Justin Lee Collins announced it as the next single, news that seemed to catch Kiedis and Smith off guard, since neither knew which song was coming next. It went to UK radio and download on October 7, 2011, reached American radio later that month, and the video followed in November.
