I love this song.

Prince Vault states the basic tracking was from 2012.

But P's use of the word "groovy" makes me think Prince wrote this song years ago. But I dont know.

Back in the day, when I was a youngin' the word "groovy" eventually became cliched.


How about the younger fans? What does groovy mean to you?

I wonder why Prince used the word groovy?

I may not be young enough to answer this question (early 40's). But groovy when used when I was a kid was a throwback word, but considered charming and tongue-in-cheek. Its not lame like "golly" or "neat" but fun.

I absolutely adore this song. It's so bright. It instantly makes me happier.

This song and use of groovy are an intentional throwback.

It's a great song.

One of the highlights of his later years

Definitely 2012, this song is about his relationship with Andy Allo....that is on record.

Great song, probably my favourite song of Hit n Run 2, together with Relevation.

My impression is that “groovy potential” refers to music, and the potential a piece of music has to become a solid groove. And that he’s using as a double entendres in the song to describe a relationship.

ding ding ding!

surprized at all this love....hate it

Indeed. After seeing this thread, I listened to it again last night to see if I'd missed something. Nope, still awful.

I've loved this song since Prince first put it on 3rdeyegirl.com for download. I think it's very interesting musically. There's a lot going on in it!

I really enjoy this track. It has an airy, lighthearted feel that I love. I always suspected that Andy was its inspiration, but I didn't know it had been confirmed. Where can we read about that?

Another lost one-man-band hit.

But I will say Prince did accomplish another semi hit in 2015 on the charts with 1000 x's and O's without even trying.

I think it had the potential to be a hit too. Yes 1000 X's & O's did pretty well!

I call GP one of his late in the game great ones. Ghe groove/vibe is just ethereal to me. Its like the brighter cousin to Beautiful Strange.
