Reflection is the twelfth and final track on Prince’s 28th album Musicology, but ten months prior to the album’s initial release (in concerts and as a download), Reflection was offered as an mp3 download to members of the NPG Music Club, during the club’s third year, after being streamed during the club’s opening week. In April 2004, a video of the performance by Prince and Wendy Melvoin of this track on The Tavis Smiley Show (their first performance together in many years) was made available for download through the NPG Music Club. Initial recording dates for the studio version are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in early 2003. No recording studio information is given, but it is likely that the track was recorded at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota or Metalworks Studios, Mississauga, ON, Canada.
