Ronnie, Talk To Russia is the fifth track on Prince’s fourth album Controversy, and, three months after the album’s release, it was released on the b-side of Let’s Work, the album’s second single.
While specific recording dates are not known, the album sessions took place in Spring and Summer 1981, at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California, after Prince cut an unfinished earlier version at his Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota earlier in the year.
The album was completed at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, between 14 and 23 August 1981.
The title and lyrics of the song refer to Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States of America.
