Beautiful, Loved And Blessed (a.k.a. Beautiful, Loved & Blessed) is the tenth track on Prince’s 31st studio album 3121, and, one month before the album’s release, a version with a slightly different ending was included as the b-side of Black Sweat, the album’s first single. Beautiful, Loved & Blessed was also released as a promo single in the USA (credited to Támar featuring Prince) at around the same time.
A tape photographed in Prince’s vault at Paisley Park Studios lists it as 6 October 2005, confirming the exact date for the recording, but the recording may have been done either at Paisley Park Studios or at Prince’s 3121 Antelo Rd. home studio in Los Angeles.
It is the only track to receive the artist credit "Prince feat. Támar Davis", although they worked on several tracks together in 2005 and 2006, at either Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, or 3121 Antelo Rd. in Los Angeles, California (it was not included on a late 2005 configuration of 3121, but this may be because it was intended for Támar’s use rather than Prince’s). At the time of 3121’s release, the Black Sweat single version of Beautiful, Loved And Blessed (as Beautiful, Loved & Blessed) was also included on Támar’s first album, then titled Beautiful, Loved & Blessed; it was included as the seventh track when the album was later renamed Milk & Honey, with a reprise of the song included as the twelfth and final track on the album.
