Songfacts®:

  • Prince told The Minnesota Star Tribune that this sensual ballad was inspired by a meme of him from Purple Rain where he's seen riding on a motorcycle with Apollonia.
  • Prince reworked the track with his group 3rdEyeGirl for their The Hit & Run Album. "'This Could Be Us' is such a classic tune that's so beautiful and the lyrics are amazing, the production is phenomenal," the band said. "But then when you hear this new version, it is totally different – super cool, really industrial sounding."
