Bright Lights, Big City

Warner Bros. Records

Whisper words, erotica, when you kiss me there

Written and performed by Prince for his aborted Camille album of 1986, a post Revolution project that evolved into Crystal Ball before becoming Sign O’ The Times, Prince’s song Good Love¹ was instead given for inclusion to the soundtrack for the Warner Brothers’ movie Bright Lights, Big City. The movie is directed by James Bridges and is about a disillusioned young writer (Michael J. Fox) in New York who turns to drink and drugs. 

The soundtrack marks Prince’s first contribution to a movie compilation album. A slightly shortened version of Good Love was released by Prince on 21 March 1998, on the album Crystal Ball.
