One of the single's B-sides, "Bunker Hill" was originally recorded for Californication, while the other, "Eskimo", was written during By the Way. The second version of the single, with blue printing instead of red on the cover art, was never released in the UK due to last minute complications, as the second release was too long to be classed as a single. UK chart singles must not last over 20 minutes in length. "Tuesday Night in Berlin" was a live jam recorded in Berlin and features Ekkehard Ehlers producing sound effects throughout the jam. Sometime into the jam, Flea switches to trumpet and Frusciante plays bass for the remainder of the jam.

"Fortune Faded" was originally recorded for the By the Way album and was played live a few times in 2001 with a chorus that is different from the Greatest Hits version. The band did not like how the By the Way sessions version sounded, thus it was re-recorded for the Greatest Hits collection. After the chorus' change, the band performed the original version once in 2005. A rough mix with a guide vocal of the By The Way sessions version with the original chorus has surfaced online, but has never been officially released by the band.

«Fortune Faded» es un sencillo de los Red Hot Chili Peppers. Se lanzó en 2003, coincidiendo con el lanzamiento de "Greatest Hits". La canción, como "Save the Population", fue grabada en The Mansion, producida por Rick Rubin y la discográfica fue Warner Bros. Records. La canción se empezó tocando en algunos conciertos de agosto de 2001 en Europa, pero sin embargo no se incluyó en "By the Way", y fue regrabada exclusivamente para Greatest Hits. Uno de sus B-sides, "Bunker Hill", fue grabado para "Californication", mientras que el otro, "Eskimo", se grabó para "By the Way", ambos no habían sido lanzados previamente. La segunda versión del sencillo nunca se lanzó en Reino Unido por complicaciones de última hora. Además, esta segunda versión duraba tanto que no se podía considerar como un sencillo, ya que sobrepasaba los 20 minutos de duración.
