"U Got The Look" opens the second disc of Sign o' the Times, Prince's 1987 double album on Paisley Park, and it became the album's second chart single, climbing to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 that October. Prince wrote, arranged and produced it and plays the guitar, synthesizer and sampler himself.
It's a strutting, crunching duet with Scottish singer Sheena Easton, with Sheila E. on timbales, hi-hat, cymbals and drum machine; both were credited on the album but left off the single. Prince also slipped himself in as an extra vocalist under his alter ego Camille. The video, shot in Paris by American director David Hogan with choreography by Cat Glover, plays it as a dream Prince has while dozing in his dressing room, and it was folded into the Sign o' the Times film.
