It features him singing and accompanying himself on piano, making only occasional use of other instruments. It includes a cover of the Joni Mitchell classic, "A Case of You", retitled "A Case of U". Mitchell receives special thanks in the liner notes. It is also the first Prince album not to chart. One song that caused some controversy amongst fans[citation needed] is "Avalanche", which describes Abraham Lincoln as a racist.
One Nite Alone... was given to members of the NPG Music Club, separately and included as a gift with his One Nite Alone...Live box set. It was never sold in stores, but bootlegs are available. For many years the primary way to hear the album was through MP3 file-sharing, and original CD copies are quite rare; in 2015, the album was released through Tidal.[citation needed] On May 29, 2020, the album was released on Vinyl.
All songs written by Prince, except "A Case of U" by Joni Mitchell.
