Telepathy is the first track on Deborah Allen’s fourth album Telepathy. A week before the album’s release, the song was issued as its first single. Telepathy was written and recorded by Prince (under the name Joey Coco).

In 1998, the single edit version was included as the sixteenth track on her first compilation album Anthology (marking its first appearance on CD).

Basic tracking took place on 6 October 1986 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California (the same day as a re-recording of Witness 4 The Prosecution, on the same day as disbanding The Revolution, the day before recording Six And ½).

It is unclear exactly when Deborah Allen recorded her vocal overdubs.

In late 1993, the song was tried out during early sessions for Mayte’s first album at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and was included as the sixth track on an early version of the album, which was titled Latino Barbie Doll at the time. The track was removed when the album evolved into Child Of The Sun, however.
