In A Spanish Villa is the seventh and final track on Apollonia 6's first and only album Apollonia 6, and, four weeks before the album's release, the track was included as the b-side of Sex Shooter, the album's first single. In A Spanish Villa was written by Prince, but credited to Apollonia (lyrics) and Wendy (music).
Initial tracking took place on 28 December 1983 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day after The Glamorous Life, the same day as Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar, and two days before Erotic City and She's Always In My Hair). The track features only Apollonia on vocals and Prince on muted guitar. The lyrics are in Spanish, marking the first time the Spanish language was used on a Prince recording.
