G-Spot is the second track on Jill Jones's first and only Paisley Park Records album Jill Jones, and within a few months of the album's release, G-Spot was released as the album's second single. Although Jill Jones shared official writing credits, the song was written solely by Prince.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking for Prince's original version took place between January and August 1983, most likely at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA. It was originally intended for Vanity 6's second album (which became Apollonia 6's first and only album Apollonia 6 when Vanity left the band). The song was then considered for Purple Rain, but was replaced on the album and in the movie by Darling Nikki in August 1983. Prince mixed the song further on 30 January 1986 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (on the same day as mixing With You, Mia Bocca and Baby, You're A Trip, and recording It's A Wonderful Day). Prince's original version contains Prince calling out "Maceo" for a solo and the line "I don't want no trash, gimme some of that popcorn" (taken from Mother Popcorn) - this is an homage to James Brown and saxophonist Maceo Parker, with whom Prince would work many years later.

  • The Gräfenberg Spot, or "G-Spot", is a term used to describe the bean-shaped area of the vagina that many women report to contain an erogenous zone which when stimulated can lead to high levels of sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. See the wikipedia entry for G-spot for more details. The concept of the G-spot entered popular culture with the 1982 publication of The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality'.
