"Sign o' the Times" (stylized as "Sign "☮︎" the Times") is the lead single from American musician Prince's 1987 album of the same name. Despite being negative in nature, the song was originally intended for two separate Prince albums meant to be released in 1986, that were both shelved: Dream Factory and Crystal Ball. (Many of the tracks from both of these albums ended up on the album Sign o' the Times.) Prince performed all vocals & instruments on the song. "Sign o' the Times" was reportedly written and composed on a Sunday, when Prince usually wrote his most introspective songs.

  • Sign o' the Times è un singolo del cantante statunitense Prince, pubblicato il 18 febbraio 1987 come primo estratto dall'album omonimo. Si tratta di uno dei brani più celebri di Prince, che all'epoca della sua uscita su 45 giri raggiunse la vetta della classifica R&B, e la posizione numero tre nella Billboard Hot 100 negli Stati Uniti, e la decima nella britannica Official Singles Chart. Nel 2004 Rolling Stone ha classificato Sign o' the Times alla posizione numero 304 nella sua lista dei 500 migliori brani musicali di sempre. Nel 1987, sia NME che The Village Voice nominarono Sign o' the Times miglior singolo dell'anno. (it)
  • «Sign o 'the Times» es el sencillo principal del álbum del mismo nombre del músico estadounidense Prince. A pesar de ser de naturaleza negativa, la canción fue originalmente pensada para dos álbumes independientes de Prince que iban a ser lanzados en 1986, que fueron archivados: Dream Factory y Crystal Ball. (Muchas de las canciones de ambos álbumes terminaron en el álbum Sign o 'the Times). Prince canta y ejecuta la pista entera solo; sin embargo, esta fue una de las canciones donde eliminó las contribuciones de otros miembros de la banda. En este caso, Susannah Melvoin. "Sign o 'the Times" fue escrita y compuesta el domingo, cuando Prince usualmente escribía sus canciones más introspectivas. (es)

  • Sign o' the Times (gestileerd als Sign “☮” the Times) is het titelnummer van Prince' dubbelalbum Sign o' the Times uit 1987. Muzikaal gezien is het lied schaars en puntig gezet door een complexe drumlijn en een aanstekelijke basgitaar. De 12-inch-single/albumversie bevat nog een blues-achtige gitaarsessie. Het nummer is een overblijfsel van de twee projecten , respectievelijk (niet het album Crystal Ball uit 1997). Het gehele nummer werd gespeeld door Prince, behalve wat backing vocals van een vriendin, . Sign o' the Times werd geschreven op een zondag, de dag van de week waarop hij vaak zijn meest diepzinnige nummers schreef, waarbij Sign o' the Times geen uitzondering is. Het nummer beschrijft het bedroevende beeld van de Verenigde Staten in 1986/87 en handelt over moeilijke onderwerpen (nl)
