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 With 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
The song "Hot With U" by Prince is an explicitly sensual and sexual song about the desires of the singer to be with a lover. The lyrics suggest a variety of ways that the singer wants to experience intimacy with their partner. The chorus, "I wanna get hot with you," is repeated throughout the song, and the verses describe the specific ways the singer wants to get hot with their lover. Some of the lyrics are quite graphically descriptive, such as "make you suck your tongue and say 'ooh'" and "do the marshmallow." The song is full of innuendos and insinuations about exploring sexuality with a partner.
The 14th room mentioned in the song is likely in reference to the penthouse suite at The Mirage in Las Vegas, which was a floor that was not originally included in the hotel's construction plan but was added later in order to create a special, luxury suite. The song also includes references to astral travel and meeting in a fourth dimension plane, which suggests an otherworldly or spiritual element to the singer's desire for intimacy. The lyrics end with a request for the singer's partner to meet them at the ocean, likely as a symbol of escape and freedom.
