A-Z song list
From Prince Vault
Definition
This list includes all songs known to be written by Prince (regardless of official credits, and/or whether a studio recording is known to exist). Recording information on songs is not always available, or not accurate enough to state a specific year of recording. In this case, the year will be followed by a *.
This list purposely doesn’t include the following categories of songs which are not reputed as having being written or co-written by Prince:
- songs known to contain a Prince participation as a musician and/or producer, example: After Hi School.
- studio or released rehearsal cover of another artist’s song by Prince, example: A Case Of U, Crimson And Clover.
- remix of another artist’s song by Prince, example: Lolly Lolly.
You can find a list of these songs in our Contribution and Cover songs page.
A list of only Prince-penned songs that remain unreleased can be found here: Unreleased Songs.
