"'Space'" is a song by American musician Prince from his 1994 album 'Come'.

The B-side of the single is actually the album track. The A-side is the 'Universal Love Radio Remix' of "Space", with completely new lyrics.

In the album version of "Space" Prince sings about being obsessed with a lover and wanting to take their love higher comparing to the likes of space whereas the Universal Love Remix features a rap from Prince at the end which is lyrically similar to his smash hit "When Doves Cry" with a new bridge saying "All the pain that a human has to go through, in a planet that's so bitter and cold / Universal love awaits you, baby all you got to say is that you really, really, really wanna go / And we're outta here".

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' stated that the song "follows the cozy funk/pop of the previous "Letitgo"." He added, "Unlike his past releases, this track reflects current trends rather than dictating them. Of the five mixes included on the CD pressing, the strumming "Acoustic" remix works the best, giving the salacious, sex-happy lyrics some much-needed warmth."

Chart performance



While "Space" did not chart on any airplay charts, it did reach #71 on the 'Billboard' Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart due to single sales. In Australia, "Space" peaked at #91 on the ARIA singles chart.
