Hey Lover is an unreleased track recorded as a home recording in early-mid 1976 at the Russell Ave, Anderson house, Minneapolis, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as Don’t You Wanna Ride?, I Spend My Time Loving You, nine untitled Instrumentals, Leaving For New York, Nightingale and Rock Me, Lover). The song contains vocals, acoustic guitar and handclaps only, and the song title is unconfirmed, but based on the track’s lyrics. The known version of this track is brief, and is likely an embryonic version of a longer track, but it is not known if Prince ever worked on the track further.
