Paradigm was a single by George Clinton sold only at his live shows, beginning 12 July 2001 at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The single, sold only in CD-R format with no artwork, contained the track Paradigm, co-written and co-produced by , who also appears as a singer and musician on the track (credited as such as it was recorded while Prince used that name). While working on a guest appearance on a track for Dutch funk band OctavePussY on a day off from touring, George Clinton showed the producers a cd which featured Paradigm. They told him that fans would definitely buy the song if he'd make it available. So he asked them to produce an unknown number of CD-Rs containing the track to sell at next evening's Paradiso show. A few weeks later another small run of CD-R was produced to be sold at the George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars Montreux Jazz 2001 performance. The track later appeared on the Sneak Peek EP and on the album How Late Do U Have 2BB4UR Absent?. Around the time of the album’s release, a promotional single of Paradigm was also available in France, containing an edit of the track not available elsewhere (credited to George Clinton featuring "Prince", rather than ""). This promotional release is listed here also. The 2001 CD-R release was not eligible for the charts, and the 2005 French promotional release did not enter the charts.
