"U Make My Sun Shine" is a song by Prince, released on April 10 2001. The ballad is a duet with guest vocalist Angie Stone, and was reportedly one of the tracks from Prince's canceled "High" album.

The B-side, "When Will We B Paid?", is a cover version of a 1970 song by The Staple Singers, originally titled "When Will We Be Paid". While The Staple Singers' version is somewhat upbeat musically, Prince's take is a sparse number with lyrics delivered with sadness and anger. The music is almost dirge-like, but features a searing guitar solo to further emphasize the anger. The song concerns the mistreatment and lack of appreciations for black people in the United States. Prince performed the song during his 2001 "Hit N Run Tour", segueing it from "Purple Rain".
