Cross The Line is a song by Ingrid Chavez, recorded on 10 December 1987, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (shortly after Prince cancelled the release of “The Black Album”, on the same day as Reason Enough and during the same set of sessions as Heaven Must Be Near, Crystal City Cry, Wintersong, Whispering Dandelions, Slappy Dappy, Candle Dance, Elephant Box, Touch Of Love, Blue Boy, Jadestone, Sad Puppet Dance and Standing In The Rain). Her vocals were later lifted and incorporated into Intermission, which (as a studio track played over the PA) opened the second half of Lovesexy Tour shows. Cross The Line remains unreleased, however.

Prince wrote the song The Line in response to Cross The Line.
