Colonized Mind is the fifth track on Prince's 33rd studio album Lotusflow3r. The track was premiered on Los Angeles radio station Indie 103 on 18 December 2008, along with Crimson And Clover, Wall Of Berlin and 4ever. In October 2015, the album version was featured as a Tidal Purple Pick of the Week, accompanied by a 2012 article focusing on Prince's guitar skills. Recording dates and studio are unknown. Prince has stated that some tracks on the Lotusflow3r date back to 3121 recording sessions - as this song features Michael B. and Sonny T., it is possible that at least the musical backdrop of this track comes from their late 2005 recording session, or one of the subsequent sessions, but no information has been verified. The presence of Támar Davis on background vocals suggests that the track was recorded before Summer 2006, at the latest.
