Allegiance is the third track (second song) on Howard Hewett’s fourth solo studio album Allegiance, and is written by Prince, although he does not appear on the released recording, which is produced by Tommy LiPuma.
Prince’s original version was first recorded in May 1988. The track was initially sent to Nia Peeples with three other (unidentified) songs when she was working on her second album, co-produced by Hewett (who was her husband at that time). None of the songs offered by Prince were included on her self-titled album released in October 1991 as they were rejected by Peeples. Howard Hewett kept Allegiance for himself however and re-recorded it in early 1992 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA. Hewett’s version was produced by Ricky Peterson and Timothy Riley and features Michael B. on drums, Ricky Peterson on keyboards, synth bass and drum programming and his brother Paul on bass and acoustic guitar.
