💿 Supercute – CD Single US: Apr. 2001

Supercute was first made available on 14 April 2001 at Prince’s Hit N Run Tour performance at the Atlanta Civic Center. Sold exclusively at concerts and later during the Prince: A Celebration – The Rainbow Children festival at Paisley Park in June 2001, the single was never commercially released. Both tracks later appeared on The Chocolate Invasion, but the single itself was originally intended to accompany the unreleased High album in 2000.

🟣 The Story

Supercute debuted as a tour‑only CD single, sold at merchandise stands beginning on 14 April 2001 in Atlanta. It was released alongside two New Power Generation singles — Peace and The Daisy Chain — just four days after the retail release of U Make My Sun Shine. The single was also sold during the week‑long Celebration festival at Paisley Park in June 2001.

Although both tracks later appeared on The Chocolate Invasion, the single was originally planned for the cancelled High album in 2000. The artwork does not reference any album. Due to its limited distribution, the single was not eligible for charts.
