America is the sixth track on Prince's eighth album Around The World In A Day, the second album to be credited to Prince and the Revolution, and five and a half month's after the album's release, America was released as the album's fourth and final single (released worldwide, except in the UK).
Initial tracking took place on 23 July 1984 at Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse, Eden Prairie, MN, USA. The full version was only released on the 12" single; the track as played was even longer, but the tape ran out while recording, so the 12" version was faded out.
On 12 June 2012, a 19:00 rehearsal version of Days Of Wild containing interpolations of Ain't Nobody, Get Wild, America and Wild And Loose by Prince and the New Power Generation was streamed on Cassandra O'Neal Facebook page and Shelby J. Soundcloud page.
