(1981)"Still Waiting" was the third US single to Prince's second album, "Prince". It was Prince's first ballad to be released as a single and was mildly popular on the R&B charts, reaching #65. The ballad speaks from the perspective of a young man who hasn't yet found love and yearns for it. The track is mainly piano and synth-based and was often played live with extended instrumental solos and audience teasing. The song is a more traditional R&B ballad, before Prince established himself with trademark sexual romps like "Do Me, Baby" and "International Lover". The B-side of the song was the album track rocker, "Bambi". Interestingly, in Belgium, the A- and B-sides were reversed for this single.
