The track was written for a friend [[Prince]] met in San Francisco, CA in September 1978 named Darlene, whose middle name was Maria, but was written as Marie on her baptismal record. [[Prince]] liked Marie better than Maria, or found it better suited the lyrics. He first wrote the song as a birthday present for her around her birthday (1 November) and recorded a version of it in early November 1978 in his [[France Avenue Home Studio]] in Edina, MN, USA. The song was long time mistakenly thought to have been named ''Darling Marie'' and to be first recorded in 1977. It has a relatively simple arrangement and features [[Prince]] accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. The lyrics include the line ''"Darlene Marie... why don't you marry me?"'' |
