Cool is the fourth track on The Time's first album The Time, and, in late Summer 1981, Cool was released as the album's second single. The song was written by Prince (music) and Dez Dickerson (lyrics), although the album does not contain any writing credits.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in April 1981 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA (along with the rest of the album). As with much of the rest of the album, the recording mostly features only Prince and Morris Day, although Lisa Coleman appears on background vocals.
