Wanna Melt With U is the eighth track (seventh song) on Prince’s 14th album , the second album to be credited to Prince and the New Power Generation.

Basic tracking took place on 14 May 1992 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, between the Australian and European legs of the Diamonds And Pearls Tour. The track was registered as 7 Hours (I Wanna Melt With U) on 7 July 1992 at the Library of Congress. It was originally planned for the maxi-single of 7, but Prince liked the track, and wanted to include it on the album. A sample of 7 is still part of the song. It initially replaced one segue on a late-Summer, 1992, configuration of the album, but to make the album fit on a single CD for release, several of the album’s segues were later removed, eliminating some of the story elements of the album.
