Streets Of Panama is an unreleased track recorded in October 2004. A tape photographed in Prince’s vault at Paisley Park Studios has the song listed, dated 21 October 2004, which alludes this is the exact date for the recording (the same day as Glasscutter and The Morning After). The track was included as the third track on a late 2005 configuration of 3121, but it was removed as the album underwent some changes before release. Nothing else is known about the track.
The title is believed to refer to Panama City, the capital city of Panama. Prince spent some time there in June 2005 (and recorded percussion overdubs on Te Amo Corazón). Clare Fischer recorded orchestration for it on the same month at Capitol Studios, Hollywood, California.
