   • "Let's Go Crazy" For the first half-decade of Prince's recording career, the singles that had crossed over to the pop chart hadn't properly showcased all of his skills as a guitarist.
   • "Take Me With U" Prince had originally fashioned "Take Me With U" as a duet with Apollonia Kotero for Apollonia 6's debut. But there were a couple of issues.

   • "Computer Blue" At one point, "Computer Blue" was 14 minutes long, but when "Take Me With U" was added to the soundtrack, Prince had to edit it down, eventually taking 10 minutes out of it, including a spoken-word section, although a 12-minute take was included on the 2017 expanded reissue of the soundtrack.
