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" was a minor success for Johnson in the United States, becoming his first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 73 and peaking at number one on the Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart. It was a success in New Zealand, reaching number six and becoming the sixth-highest-selling song of 2003. It remains Johnson's sole top-10 hit and his most successful single there.
