"U Make My Sun Shine" is a song by Prince, released on April 10, 2001.[1] The ballad is a duet with guest vocalist Angie Stone, and along with the B-side was reportedly one of the tracks from Prince's canceled High album.

"When Will We B Paid?" is a cover version of the 1969 song by the Staple Singers, originally titled "When Will We Be Paid". While the Staple Singers' version is somewhat upbeat musically, Prince's take is a sparse number with lyrics delivered with sadness and anger. The music is almost dirge-like, but features a searing guitar solo to further emphasize the anger.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The song concerns the mistreatment and lack of appreciation for black people in the United States. Prince performed the song during his 2001 Hit n Run Tour, segueing it from "Purple Rain".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
