Lion Of Judah is the ninth track from Prince’s 32nd album Planet Earth.
Basic tracking took place on 4 September 2006 (on the same day as The One U Wanna C), most likely at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (although possibly at either 3121 at The Rio in Las Vegas, Nevada or Circle House in Miami, Florida).
In Christian tradition, the Lion of Judah represents Jesus. Prince’s use of the phrase refers to its use in Revelation 5:5, quoted here in the New World Translation, used by Jehovah’s Witnesses (including Prince): "But one of the elders says to me: "Stop weeping. Look! The Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.""
