The Mood For Love (a.k.a. It's Our Music) is an unreleased track by poet/rapper Ninety-9, recorded in 1993, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as 40 Ounces, Burns 1, Stained Glass and Three Shots). The track is thought to be co-written and produced by Prince (as SymbolSmallerBlue.png). Although Prince and Ninety-9 have worked together on a series of songs it is unclear whether this short-lived collaboration was intended to lead to an album or to a particular project. Prince sampled the tracks heavily in 1993-5 recordings, however. A looped sample of "Hold on to your wigs" from the track was used in studio and live versions of Days Of Wild. The track itself, however, remains unreleased.
