Slave was the first promotional single to be released from Prince's 19th album Emancipation, the third to be credited to .
It was given out to audience members at a Paisley Park Studios show on 9 December, 1995, only nine days after Gold, the final single from The Gold Experience, was released (in the intervening time between this single's distribution and the release of Emancipation, both Girl 6 and Chaos And Disorder albums were released).
The b-side, New World, was also taken from Emancipation, following Slave in sequence on the third disc of the 3 CD set.
As the single was only given to audience members at one show, it was not eligible for any charts.
