Elixer is the tenth and final track on Bria Valente’s first and only studio album Elixer. The song was written, produced and largely performed by Bria Valente and Prince.
Recording dates and studio are unknown, but the song was first placed on a late October 2005 configuration of 3121 and initially was a solo recording by Prince on piano. Prince started working with Bria Valente in mid-2006, who recorded her parts somewhere in 2006 during Prince's 3121 Las Vegas residency. Prince's vocals were recorded at 3121 Antelo Rd., Los Angeles, California, with additional recording taking place at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The track may have been re-recorded or overdubed anytime between mid-2006 and Summer 2008 at either Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota or Circle House, Miami, Florida, but no information has been verified. A portion of the song’s lyrics were included in the 21 Nights book in 2008.
The album title "Elixir" was mentioned on the digital cover of the Another Boy single in September 2008, suggesting that the track may have been re-recorded with Bria Valente at that point (possibly under the title Elixir).
