Overview
Released on 7 May 2021, Partyman / Cool is a Paris Saint‑Germain–exclusive 7" single, sold only through the football club’s official website and in‑person at launch. The release coincided with the unveiling of a collaborative apparel collection between Paris Saint‑Germain and The Prince Estate, with the single acting as a promotional tie‑in.
The A‑side features Partyman (Single Edit) — although the disc actually contains the album version from Batman, complete with its film‑sampled intro. The B‑side contains a previously unreleased live version of “Cool”, recorded during Prince & 3rdEyeGirl’s final Paris performance on 1 June 2014, Le Zénith (2nd show).
Although labelled “previously unreleased,” the performance had been broadcast in 2015 as part of the Crazy2Cool medley on 89.3 The Current, with video later streaming on Tidal.
The single was pressed only on purple vinyl, with no advance notice before release. The nickname “Prince Du Parc” is a pun on PSG’s stadium, Parc des Princes. The Jeff Katz cover image had previously been used to promote Prince’s 1990 Nude Tour show at the same venue.
