Jealous Girl is an unreleased song recorded in Summer 1981 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same session as Pizza and Drive Me Wild). The track was intended for The Hookers, but was abandoned when The Hookers developed into Vanity 6.

The track was offered to The Bangles after Prince met Bangles lead singer Susannah Hoffs on a flight to London, England, in early February 1985 (while flying over for the BPI Awards, 11 February 1985); Hoffs asked Prince to provide songs for their next album, and he provided them with Manic Monday and Jealous Girl, which they rejected. It is unlikely The Bangles ever recorded a version of the song.

The track was worked on further (or perhaps re-recorded) in early 1987, at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, Minnesota, with lead vocals by American blues singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, during a short-lived collaboration between Prince and Raitt. Eric Leeds recorded saxophone overdubs on 5 February 1987. The track remains unreleased, however.
