"If I Love U 2nite" (also known as "If Eye Love U 2night") was recorded by Mayte and released as the second single from her sole album, Child of the Sun. In Mayte's narration of her love story, in which she and her lover's first date was "in bed", she asks him if he'll love her forever. The song was suggested to be about Prince, whom she was dating at the time. The two would later wed on Valentine's Day, 1996.

History

[edit]

The song was originally written by Prince for his band member Gayle Chapman to sing. Chapman recorded two versions of this song. Later, Prince sang it as an outtake in 1987 from a man's point of view. It was also covered by Mica Paris in 1991. The original Prince guide vocal for "If I Love U 2 Nite" appeared by mistake on the rare Mica Paris Stand for Love EP, of which only a handful exist. It was Mayte's biggest hit and a fan favorite due to Mayte's shy, cute, pop sound, unlike the others' soul sound. Chapman and Prince both performed this as a ballad.
