Tick, Tick, Bang is the tenth track on Prince's twelfth album Graffiti Bridge. The track is also featured in the movie Graffiti Bridge.
Basic tracking took place in Summer 1981 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same session as Controversy and Poppa Grooves). The track was re-recorded from scratch with mostly new lyrics in 1989 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. This updated version was included as the ninth track on a late 1989 configuration of Graffiti Bridge. It was included as the tenth track on a 1990 configuration, where it remained for the final release. A single of Tick, Tick, Bang was planned in 1990, but it was not released.
The song uses an uncredited sample of Little Miss Lover by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, (written by Jimi Hendrix), which first appeared on Axis: Bold As Love (1969).
