Playtime is an unreleased song initially recorded in the first half of 1995. This version was listed on a configuration for a Playtime By Versace project in 1995. It is unclear who was to sing lead on this version. Lyrics of a version with Prince singing lead include the line "A girl like me, when I am in the mood / You gotta be, my dirty dude". indicating it was always meant to be sung by a female. It was subsequently performed live in 1997 and 1998 (beginning 11 August 1997 (a.m.): Roxy, Houston, TX, USA), with Marva King on lead vocals. She has confirmed when performing that the track was written by Prince (as ). A studio version with her singing lead was recorded in 1997 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. It seems likely the song with Marva King singing lead was intended for an album or project he was doing with her, for which Hotel Blues, recorded with her around the same time, was also intended. The track remains unreleased.
