Endorphinmachine is the second track on Prince’s 17th album The Gold Experience, the first to be credited to SymbolSmallerBlue.png, and, shortly before the album’s release, Endorphinmachine was available as a promo single, released only in Japan.

The track was also included as a b-side on the Japanese version of the EyeBlue.png Hate U single.

Basic tracking took place on 2 January 1993 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same one-day session that produced Come, Dark, Dolphin, Dream and Laurianne). In 1994, a live version of the track was included on a planned “Live” single which was not released.

The song was played live regularly from 1993-5, and fans became familiar with the stripped-down live version (based on the unreleased original version). In 1993, the original studio version of Endorphinmachine (as Endorphinemachine) was included in the Glam Slam Ulysses stage-show, during the segment titled "Calypso". The troup danced to this version on The Arsenio Hall Show on 6 October 1993.

When the album was released, many fans expressed frustration that there were significant overdubs, erasing the 'raw' feeling of the original (Endorphinmachine has become a common reference point for fans hearing new material live before hearing a studio version - songs such as Zannalee and Fury were also overdubbed in their released studio versions).
