(1987)"Anotherloverholenyohead" is a 1986 song by Prince and The Revolution, from the album "Parade", the soundtrack to the film "Under The Cherry Moon". The song is essentially a solo performance by Prince, but with backing vocals from Susannah Melvoin (Prince was romantically linked to Susannah at the time the two had recorded this song about a couple in the midst of relationship problems), and the horn section of Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss. The song also features a string arrangement by Clare Fischer. The song is set in a minor key, and written around a piano chord sequence, although the arrangement emphasizes an upfront guitar synth and a drum machine. The lyrics are about a man trying to reclaim a lover who is intent on leaving him for another. The single received a 12" extended release with intricate piano work and some dance commands from Prince.

The B-side was the LP version of "Girls & Boys" in the U.S., but since that was already released as a single on its own in the UK, the B-side there was "I Wanna Be Your Lover," from 1979's "Prince".

However, despite a large amount of publicity provided by its predecessors and the film "Under The Cherry Moon", the single stalled on the charts in both the UK and the U.S.
