Girl is the second track on The Time’s first album The Time, and, in late 1981, Girl was released as the album’s third and final single. The song was written by Prince, although the album does not contain any writing credits. While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in April 1981 at Prince’s Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with the rest of the album). As with much of the rest of the album, the recording features only Prince and Morris Day.

Additional Information See also Trivia The Time album Girl single The Time Girl is entirely unrelated to the Prince and the Revolution track Girl, recorded in 1982 and released in 1985 (see Girl for details of that track). This is believed to be the first instance of Prince reusing a title for a different song.
