During [[Prince]]'s 2007 [[21 Nights In London : The Earth Tour]], he unexpectedly played the track during a solo piano set at the [[31 August 2007]] show (after having played a brief portion of it on [[28 August 2007]]), marking its first live performance, over 15 years after its initial recording. | During [[Prince]]'s 2007 [[21 Nights In London : The Earth Tour]], he unexpectedly played the track during a solo piano set at the [[31 August 2007]] show (after having played a brief portion of it on [[28 August 2007]]), marking its first live performance, over 15 years after its initial recording. | ||

This version was premiered over the PA prior to an unannounced [[Prince]] show at [[Paisley Park Studios]] on [[16_November 2014-am|16 November 2014 (a.m.)]] (along with [[Revelation]], [[X's Face]], a new recording of [[If I Could Get Your Attention]], [[Ain't About To Stop]] and a remix of [[Pretzelbodylogic]]), following a show by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FKA_twigs FKA twigs] in a different room. On 24 July 2015 the track was announced on [http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-33649080 BBC News] as included on [[Prince]]'s 38th album [[Album: Hitnrun Phase One|Hitnrun Phase One]], and the updated title was only known when an official tracklist surfaced a few days before the album's availability on the [http://tidal.com/ Tidal] streaming platform. The new title is somewhat confusing: "X's & O's" is often written as a shorthand, with "X" meaning a kiss, and "O" meaning a hug, so the revised title would actually read "A thousand kisses and hugs" (perhaps this was to avoid the title being read "A thousand noughts and crosses", however, with noughts and crosses being another name for the game referred to in [[Tictactoe]]). |
