Face 2 Face is an unreleased song believed to have been recorded in mid-1992. Prince’s handwritten lyrics to the song were made available in early 2021 during an auction by RR Auction; the song was not known previously. The auction states that research indicates that the song was not recorded, but this may simply be because the title was not previously known. Although the formal artist credit isn’t known, songs from this recording period were released under the name Prince and the New Power Generation, so that credit is used for this entry. The opening lines from the lyrics, "I’ve never been one 2 hide my feelings / baby u blow my mind", were reused in Space recorded in May 1993. Face 2 Face was one of the Vault tracks recorded between 1990 and 1992 slated to appear on the planned Diamonds & Love expected to be released by The Prince Estate in the summer of 2022. That project, which consisted of material spanning both the Diamonds And Pearls and eras, was reduced to the Diamonds And Pearls era, excluding songs recorded after October 1991 (and this track as a result).
