An instrumental version was first heard played live on 17 March, 2013 (am) at La Zona Rosa, Austin, TX, USA, during the SXSW show Prince performed for Samsung. A full version with lyrics was first performed live on 13 July, 2013 Auditorium Stravinski, Montreux, Switzerland. An instrumental excerpt of the song was posted on NPG Twitter Account on 2 October, 2013. It is assumed that a studio version was recorded in Spring 2013, although this has not been confirmed. In December, 2015, Prince announced on Twitter that Big City was included on the planned album Hitnrun Phase Two, although no release information for the album has been given.
