"Paisley Park" was the first single in both the UK and Australia to be released from Prince and The Revolution's 1985 album Around the World in a Day on 24 May 1985. The song has a psychedelic feel, similar to some of The Beatles' later work with echoed guitar and finger cymbals. The lyrics describe an Utopian place that one can feel in their heart, despite the chaos of the world around them. "Paisley Park" was recorded before Purple Rain was even completed, indicating the new direction Prince wanted to take after the movie hype.
