Providence is the twelfth track on singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco's tenth solo studio album To The Teeth, and features Prince (as  ) singing background vocals.
While specific recording dates and location are not known, Prince met Ani DiFranco and Maceo Parker following her concert at the Midway Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on 3 July 1999, and invited them back to Paisley Park Studios, where DiFranco added guitar to  Love U, But Don't Trust U Anymore and Parker added saxophone to Prettyman. Ani DiFranco may have recorded Providence prior to this, with Prince (as ) adding vocals during the same session or at another time in late Summer - early Autumn, 1999 (his vocals were likely recorded at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, even while the rest of the track may have been recorded elsewhere.
