Q.U.E.E.N. is the third song of Janelle Monáe's second studio album The Electric Lady and its first single. A remix by Prince and Joshua Welton (assumed) was streamed during 3rdEye TV Show # 2 in 2013. A longer version was streamed the following day as was an instrumental version of this remix two days later.
The track was written by Janelle Monáe, Kellis Parker Jr., Roman GianArthur Irvin, Nathaniel Irvin III, Charles Joseph II, Kellindo Parker, Chuck Lightning and Nate "Rocket" Wonder. The single was released two months earlier but did not include Prince's remixes which may have been made between april and june 2013 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA, with Joshua Welton. While Prince has contributed to Givin Em What They Love on the Electric Lady album by co-writing the song and providing co-lead vocals, guitar and bass guitar, he did not contribute to the album version of Q.U.E.E.N..
His remixes were not given titles as such and were not officially released to own but were streamed during four 3rdEye TV shows in june 2013 (see below for details).
