2002 single by Jack Johnson
"Flake" is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jack Johnson. It is Johnson's debut single[2] and was released as the only single from his first album, Brushfire Fairytales (2001).[3][4][5] "Flake" features Ben Harper on Weissenborn slide guitar and Tommy Jordan on steel drums.[2]
"Flake" became Johnson's first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 73, and it topped the Billboard Triple-A chart for three weeks, becoming the best-performing song of 2002 on that listing. In New Zealand, it reached number six and ended 2003 as the country's sixth-most-successful song; it remains Johnson's sole top-10 hit there. "Flake" has become a popular song in Johnson's live performances and still garners radio airplay.[citation needed]
