Ten is the second track on Madhouse’s second and final album 16, and, seven weeks before the album’s release, 10 (written numerically) was released as the album’s first single. The track was written and performed by Prince, Eric Leeds, Levi Seacer, Jr. and Sheila E. (credited as Madhouse).
Basic tracking took place on 30 July 1987, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (the day after The Sex Of It, during the same one-day session that produced Eleven, Fifteen, Ten And ½, and three instrumentals later named Night Owl, Overnight, Every Night and Andorra, and the day before Twelve and another instrumental later named Kenya); it is likely that the title was assigned only after the final sequence had been arranged for the album. Other than the similarity in numbering and in music style, Ten is not related musically to the single b-side Ten And ½.
