Jealous Girl is a song originally recorded in Summer 1981 at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The track was intended for an album by The Hookers, but was abandoned when The Hookers developed into Vanity 6.
In 1985 the track was offered to The Bangles alongside Manic Monday. The Bangles recorded the latter, but did not think Jealous girl was the right fit for them.
The box of the master tape containing this recording (together with Don’t Let Him Fool Ya and Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got has the date 6 May 1985 written under the track. A mix of it was likely done a few days before, readying it for The Bangles.
The track was worked on further in early 1987, at Prince’s Galpin Blvd Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota with lead vocals by American blues singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, during a short-lived collaboration between the two artists. Eric Leeds recorded saxophone overdubs on 5 February 1987. Although Prince offered four songs to Bonnie Raitt (I Need A Man, Jealous Girl, Promise 2 Be True and There’s Something I Like About Being Your Fool), it is unclear whether this collaboration was intended to lead to an album or to a particular project.
In September 2020 the 1987 Prince version of the song was released on one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the Sign O’ The Times Super Deluxe set. The track is listed as Jealous Girl (Version 2) but the Version 1 remains unreleased.
