Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Hot Wit U
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna get hot with you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doing things you thought you'd never do
Make you suck your tongue and say "ooh"
I wanna get hot with you
Take you upstairs to the fourteenth room
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
I wanna get hot with you [4x]
I want to get hot with you
I wanna get you underneath the cream
And do the marshmallow
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
I wanna get you to do something
U thought you'd never do
Like dance in front of my headlights
On a hot summer night...nude
I wanna get hot with you
I wanna get hot with you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doing things you thought you'd never do
Make you suck your tongue and say "ooh"
I wanna get hot with you
Take you upstairs to the fourteenth room
Multicolored lights and an ocean view
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
I want to get hot with you
I wanna make you climb this chain around my waist
So I can prove that I'm the only one that brings out
The freak in you...
I wanna get hot with you
I wanna get hot with you [4x]
Know the body banging, got you singing
No shouts from the neighbors, telephone ringing
Put me in positions thought I'd never do proper
Created a machine, now you know you can't stop her
Trying to turn me on - I never had this, so stop this
I'm supposed to tremble cuz they call you 'The Artist'?
Let's wild out - can you handle ruff riding?
Treat you like a freak of the week and had you hiding from me
I can do whatever you like, if you could take it
If I could be your girlfriend, you could catch me naked
Can't front sexually, I'd like a sample
But I don't think I'm ready for you to make me an example
I mean - come on - why front on
I'd never place time - queen in your life
I mean - will never
The days that you feeling for me...neutral
That I'm ready to call you daddy
Even get got with you
Meet me early morning in a fourth dimension plane
Astral traveling hottie, I know you know my game
Underneath the cream I'll meet you
And then we'll rearrange
Everything you know of love
I'll give you reason to change
Hot with you
I wanna get hot with you
(I wanna, wanna...)
I wanna get hot with you
(I want you)
I want to get hot with you
I wanna steal a kiss in the middle of an
Overcrowded room, yeah
That's what I wanna do, eye-eye
I wanna get hot with you
Hot with you, ooh
I wanna get hot with you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doing things you thought you'd never do
Make you suck your tongue and say "ooh"
I wanna get hot with you
Take you upstairs to the fourteenth room
Multicolored lights and an ocean view
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
Take a drive to the ocean
And drown you in a wave (Hot with you)
Of a hundred thousand compliments, boo
I want you every day (Hot with you)
And to be cool
And the only way to do that is every night (hot with you)
Get hot, get hot (Hot) with you (Hot)
Yeah baby
I wanna get hot with you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doing things you thought you'd never do (Never)
Make you suck your tongue and say "ooh"
I wanna get hot with you
Take you upstairs to the fourteenth room (Oh, honey)
Multicolored lights and an ocean view (Can't you see)
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
Hot with you
(I wanna get hot with you)
I wanna get hot with you
Get you underneath the cream and ooh
Get you doing things (ooh) you thought you'd never do
Make you suck your tongue and say "ooh" (ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, I wanna get hot with you
Wanna get hot with you
Prince’s “Hot Wit U” is a seductive song that explores the euphoric pleasures of physical intimacy. The verses are straightforward in their intentions as Prince uses them to express his desire to take his lover to new heights of pleasure. He wants to get hot with his lover and get them “doing things you thought you'd never do”. The song is heavily laced with sexual innuendos as Prince delightfully sings lyrics like “make you suck your tongue and say ooh”. The chorus has a catchy melody and repetitive lyrics that lingers over and over. The bridge then takes the song up a notch as Prince sings about wanting to steal a kiss in an overcrowded room and then take a drive to the ocean and drown his lover in compliments.
Prince is known for his steamy and sensual songs, but “Hot Wit U” was a departure from his usual cryptic lyrics. The song is quite explicit with its lyrics and does not leave much to interpretation. The track has a funky and upbeat sound with its heavy guitar riffs and drum beats. It represents a perfect blend of Prince’s rock and funk styles. Prince’s raw voice is soothing and sensual, and it complements the underlying music. The interplay of various drumbeats and guitar licks adds depth to the song.

If the music industry wasn't so controlled, this would have dominated the charts. Sadly, most people have never even heard of this, the main version or even the album it comes from.

A lot of people slept on Prince and only know his music from the radio pop hits from 1999, Purple Rain and maybe one other album. There are so many jams from his 40 plus album catalog. I always looked forward every year for a new album. I remember this track and never knew there was a video for it. I'm glad I get so watch and listen on youtube. Salute to Prince.
Anthony Taylor
Dude how are u? Folks know prince was making hits way back in 1979 and the early 80s also people were familiar with him writing and producing stuff for other artist in the early 80s cmon bruh ain't nobody slept on him if that was the case why did all of his shows sell out in 10mins( just an exaggeration )
Blackfeet
Nah. How can Prince be underrated when he one of the most sampled artists and had hits internationally. Just because he released music on his own platform on the Internet doesn't mean nobody listened to it because it "didn't char". Prince never released his sales because he was independent since the 90s. Have you seen Paisly Park? An underrated artist could not afford the upkeep for something like that and that place was just his hobby. FOH.
dham629
@Blackfeet Dude, I'm well aware he had a loyal following and fans who bought his music and went to shows. I'm one of them, I've seen him live in concert twice and bought damn near every album in the form of records, cassettes and cds.
I'm clearly talking about many of those who really don't have a clue. My comment is specific, there are people who only know him for pop radio hits and never bought more than Controversy, 1999, Purple Rain and Around the World in a Day, if that many. There are casual fans and listeners, you know.
Katrina Mack
yeah it’s sad more than half of his discography is overlooked by the general public ….there’s so much to choose from im surprised not everyone is a prince fan lmao
dham629
@Katrina Mack Thank you! Some folks here act like they don't or can't understand that, and act incredulous or offended by my comments lol. When my comments are clearly coming from a place of being a fan of him and his music. 🤦🏾♂️
