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.
Recording process
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, California (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 recording took place on 24 December 1984, when Prince recorded it at the Kiowa Trail Home Studio 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. Since at this point there was no console, the studio was not fully operational. Prince used the rented Record Plant Remote - Mobile Truck that he had on tour, parked in his driveway to record it.
