Story behind "Peach"

Rarely, do I need to ask for help on the background story of a song but this time I need some confirmation. Someone told me today that the song "Peach" was written about Kim Basinger, I've never heard that. Looking at the lyrics, I would say Mayte. Any fact or rumors as to who inspired the song?

I always heard it was about Kim. In fact isn't her voice on the song? A sample from the Scandalous Sex Suite?

Kim is a southern gal so the term PEACH wold fit her better than Mayte.

That's the reasoning that my friend gave me but the song was published in '93 and Kim is pale not tan like Mayte and I remember Mayte always wearing those golden hot pants around that time frame.

and 'Vicky Waiting' was originally called 'anna waiting.' it was a gift for his underage girlfriend Anna.

I never heard that it was about Kim and doubt it is.
His fling with her was over as fast as it started in 89-90.
plus the lyrics dont fit her ...."she was dark, she was tan"

Kim was pasty white like toothpaste almost...lol

I seem to remember saying "here's a new song" during the 1992 tour. So I assumed that it was about Mayte

Of course, wasn't he dating Carmen around this time?

I was at the concert when this song was premiered at Glam Slam Minneapolis in Feb. 1993 and he did say it was a new song. I always thought it was about Mayte too, but I guess he could only say for sure. He had a lot of different women around at that time, Carmen being one of them.

I seem to recall at the time it was rumoured to be an ode to Kylie. Really.

..or did I misunderstand. Did he merely dedicate it to her when she showed up at the Bagleys Aftershow in '93?

I think she said that in Playboy, yeah. Anna Garcia aka Anna Fantastic. "Pink Cashmere" is also about her.

biggrin Prince worked very well with Kim on the Scandalous part of the batman album but as far as eye know Peach was purely about and based around the lovely Mayte wildsign I heard it first during the 3 london gigs on sept 21 1993 and it has always been related to Mayte to be fair featuring well in the vid and the bagley's warehouse concert footage! A fantastic video indeed shot at olympic studios and always one of my favorites!!! guitar
