The Mood For Love (a.k.a. It’s Our Music) is an unreleased track by poet/rapper Ninety-9 (real name : Dietra Moses) Prince (as  ) worked on in late-Spring – early Summer 1993, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as 40 Ounces, Simlac, Stained Glass and Three Shots). The track is thought to be co-written and produced by Prince (as ). There might be other versions of the song with her own backing music as the five tracks known to have been worked or re-worked by Prince were registered on September 1st 1993 as musical compositions by Dietra Moses alone at the Library Of Congress.
It is unclear whether this short-lived collaboration was intended to lead to an album or to a particular project. Prince sampled the tracks heavily in 1993-5 recordings, however. A looped sample of "Hold on to your wigs" from The Mood For Love was used in studio and live versions of Days Of Wild. The songs quotes Graham Central Station ‘s It’s Alright.
The song remains unreleased.
