And God Created Woman is the 15th track (14th song) on Prince's 14th album , the second album to be credited to Prince and the New Power Generation.

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in early December 1991, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions that produced Sexy M.F., Love 2 The 9's, The Morning Papers, The Sacrifice Of Victor and Arrogance). It was included as the 21st track (13th song) on a March 1992, configuration of the album, and the 21st track (14th song) on a late-Summer, 1992, configuration, before many of the album's segues were removed for release.

The song's lyrics refer heavily to the Biblical account of God's creation of Eve, the first woman, in Genesis 2:21-23 (3rd is also based on the Biblical story of Adam and Eve).
