"Round and Round" was the Prince-produced first single from R&B singer Tevin Campbell's debut album T.E.V.I.N. This was Tevin's first solo single, as he was featured in "Tomorrow (A Better You, A Better Me)" alongside music legend Quincy Jones. The song is also featured on the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack. The hit song was a success on both the pop and R&B charts peaking at No. 12 on the Hot 100 and No. 3 on the US R&B chart.
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place circa December 1989 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same sessions that produced "New Power Generation"). The original version of the track, before being remixed by Junior Vasquez, was included as the sixth track on a 1990 configuration of Graffiti Bridge, but when the track was remixed in Spring-Summer 1990, Prince liked the results and included the remixed version on the album. The original version (prior to the remixes) of the song remains unreleased.[2]
"Round And Round" is the first single to be credited to Tevin Campbell. The track is featured in the movie Graffiti Bridge. Soon after the soundtrack’s release, "Round And Round" was released as the album’s second single (and the third in Europe) from Prince’s twelfth album (his only track on the album). It was released five weeks after the album and received a release in the USA and UK only. The b-side was a remix of "Round And Round". In 1991, the Soul Mix Edit of the track was included as the first track on Tevin Campbell’s first album T.E.V.I.N. (sixth track and fifth song on the vinyl release).[3]
