Temptation is the ninth and final track on Prince's seventh album Around The World In A Day, the second album to be credited to Prince and the Revolution.
Although specific recording dates are not known, the song was recorded during a one-day session in Spring, 1984 at the Capitol Records Building, Los Angeles, CA, USA (the unusual location was because engineer David Leonard was now working there). The session was a solo recording, with saxophone by Eddie M. overdubbed later. Additional work took place on 24 December 1984 (the day after recording The Ladder), in a mobile studio outside Prince's Kiowa Trail Home, Chanhassen, MN, USA immediately following his matinee show at Saint Paul Civic Center Arena, St. Paul, MN, USA, as the final recording made for Around The World In A Day.
