The recipient of numerous awards and nominations, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation. He was known for his flamboyant, androgynous persona; his wide vocal range, which included a far-reaching falsetto and high-pitched screams; and his skill as a multi-instrumentalist, often preferring to play all or most of the instruments on his recordings. Prince produced his albums himself, pioneering the Minneapolis sound. His music incorporated a wide variety of styles, including funk, R&B, rock, new wave, soul, synth-pop, pop, jazz, and hip hop.
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.

Party All The Time
Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I don't even know what it is
I don't know what I did, but I feel the
Pain, I sit back and reminisce
About how it really is
I remember back to when I was just a kid
Everything was moving swift
Had a need for speed
Drive my life to the big bits
Now I'm holding off on getting license
Labels scare me, my licensing
Controlled by a frightening
Man tryna get the dolla
Pounding me down for the pound
Even when I'm gone then they'll use my sound
Till the people forget I'm around
Cause its all about the present, it's a gift, it's the now
History was just another round
I just wanna do big bits and then get real rich and then
Flex on it all cause I'm brown
Get them up lifted cause I'm in town
Get em doing big shit cause I showed how
Get myself inspired too cause I'm lazy
Only Lord knows cause the good Lord made me.
I procrastinate too much on the daily
I don't thank God enough, I'm so hazy
Looking like I did the bale, I'm still Christian
This a dark knight religion
Like the prodigal son, though batman returns though
Man never left I'm fine tuning words so
I can go in and actually learn
Cause I slack too much, it's my time to go first
Climb the Rap game, out of 10 I'm eleven
Stretch my hands up, hopefully get to heaven
I don't know what I'm doing
But I'm gone do it right
Always getting told what I should be pursuing
So to figure out I write
I ain't really one to say how I'm doing
Not at an indepth analytic
I don't really wanna be just a nuisance
Or just another little black statistic
Say life's a ride, it's the roller-coaster
That's why I like to always do the most tho
Though I don't know how I handle it
I'm more an unserious candidate
No stress, all flex. Oh yes
Like a bank, tryna keep the interest
Pristine, it's a dream, God bless
Bad times, good vibes man I guess it's a
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Real, real, real, real, real
Also a hopeless romantic
Always act frantic
Devil wears prada while dancing
Cause I feel the enemies when I'm in the tango
Though gotta thank God I'm handsome
Say I brag too much but you know that its true
They don't like me cause I'm weird, bitch I'm cute
Get all this attention yet nothing i do
I just state facts of the things that I suit
And I slack too much, 18 was catch up
Now a big boss, time to act up
Though I can't talk, I'm too random
For my L's, yeah I'm the only answer
But switching up the riff raff
Changing up the chit chat
Introverted extrovert but now I'm tryna get that
Level where connections are the only things I get back
Last year as a teen so I'm really tryna fix that
Rapping is the dream so I'm really tryna get that
Parents want a hobby but I'm really tryna get bags
Party in the lobby that's the boujee type of rich I'm
Tryna go get man
Tryna go set man
Tryna not sell out but my shows will be a hit man
I don't need a barcode to show that I'm a hit man
Even when I'm blue, hero mode I'm the tick man
Different type of shit, and
Tipping heights to build them
Even with my girl, ain't no rush
Know Bugsey said that
Even with my world, know the rush is just a setback
Pristine, it's a dream, God bless
It's a
Bad times, good vibes
Man I guess that it's a
No stress, all flex. Oh yes
Like a bank, tryna keep the interest
Pristine, it's a dream, God bless
Bad times, good vibes man I guess it's a
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal
Guess it's a party, forreal

The lyrics to Prince's song "Party Time" reflect the artist's feelings of uncertainty and nostalgia while navigating the music industry. The opening lines express a sense of confusion and pain, with the singer unsure of what they did to feel this way. They reminisce about their childhood and how life used to move swiftly, filled with excitement and a need for speed. However, as they've grown older, they've become hesitant and afraid of labels and the control that comes with them. They feel pounded down for the sake of money and worry that people will forget about them if they're not constantly in the present moment.
