Magnificent was released as a "virtual b-side" to Musicology, the first single from Prince’s 28th album Musicology. The single itself did not receive a retail or download release in North America. In Europe Musicology received a retail release, but it did not feature Magnificent as a b-side.
On 26 April 2024, three weeks after the digital release of virtual b-side United States Of Division, Magnificent was released as a stand alone digital track by Prince’s estate as part of the 20th anniversary campaign for the Musicology album.
While specific recording dates are not known, it is likely that the track was recorded in early 2004, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
