Paradigm was initially available as the only track on the Paradigm CD-R single sold by George Clinton at a live show at the Paradiso, Amsterdam, on 12 July, 2001. In 2005, it was included as the third track on the first disc of George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars's studio album How Late Do U Have 2BB4UR Absent?, and, a week before the album's release, it was included as the second track on the Sneak Peek EP iTunes exclusive single.

Around the time of the album's release, a promotional single of Paradigm was available in France, containing an edit of the track. The track is co-written and co-produced by George Clinton and SymbolSmallerBlue.png, who also appears on the track as a singer and musician.

While specific recording dates are not known, it is likely that initial tracking took place in 2000. George Clinton and SymbolSmallerBlue.png worked separately, however, as mentioned by Clinton when discussing the album, who said, "I peed on it, sent it to him, he peed on it, and sent it back". Clinton worked on the song at DARP Studios, Atlanta, GA, USA, and SymbolSmallerBlue.png recorded his parts at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA.
