We do not claim copyrights to this song
7 is the 14th track (13th song) on Prince’s 14th album SymbolSmallerBlue.png, the second to be credited to Prince and the New Power Generation, and, five weeks after the album’s release, 7 was released as the album’s third single (on the same day as the Damn U single). In 1993, the track was included as the 18th and final track on The Hits 1 (also included as the first disc of The Hits / The B-Sides). In 2006, the track was included as the 15th track on the first disc of Ultimate.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in December 1990 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. This early version was not included on any known configuration of the Diamonds And Pearls album though. Additional recording or basic tracking of a new version took place between September 1991, and March 1992, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It was included as the 19th track (twelfth song) on a March 1992, configuration of the SymbolSmallerBlue.png album, and the 19th track (13th song) on a late-Summer 1992, configuration, before many of the album’s segues were removed for release. The track is a solo recording by Prince, but the drum loop is sampled from Tramp, a 1967 song written by Lowell Fulson and Jimmy McCracklin, as performed by Lowell Fulson (from Tramp 1967, also released as a single; also performed by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas).

Remixes of the track were made by Hip Hop producer Marley Marl for a possible inclusion on the maxi-single but they remain unreleased.
