A-Z Songs C-D

All Songs known to be written by Prince including songs recorded by Prince in the studio.

Definition

This list includes all songs known to be written by Prince (regardless of official credits, and/or whether a studio recording is known to exist). Recording information on songs is not always available, or not accurate enough to state a specific year of recording. In this case, the year will be followed by a *.

This list purposely doesn't include the following categories of songs which are not reputed as having being written or co-written by Prince:

• songs known to contain a Prince participation as a musician and/or producer, example: 77 Bleeker St..
• studio cover of another artists song by Prince, example: A Case Of U, Crimson And Clover.
• remix of another artists song by Prince, example: Lolly Lolly.

You can find a list of these songs in our Contribution and Cover songs page.

A list of only Prince-penned songs that remain unreleased can be found here: Unreleased Songs.
