"7" is a song by American musicians Prince and the New Power Generation. It was released on November 17, 1992, by the Paisley Park label as the third single from their Love Symbol Album (1992). Featuring a sample of the 1967 Lowell Fulson song "Tramp", the track showcases a distinct Middle Eastern tone underscored by heavy drums and bass in an acoustic style, a Hindu reincarnation theme, and an opera-like chorus which features Prince's multi-tracked vocals. The ambiguous lyrics, which have religious and apocalyptic themes, can be interpreted in many ways, as the "7" mentioned in the chorus could be referring to the Seven Deadly Sins, the seven Archon of Gnosticism, or the seven names of God in the Old Testament. The song received positive reviews and became the most successful single from the album in the United States, also peaking within the top 40 in many of its major international markets. Its accompanying music video was directed by Sotera Tschetter and received a nomination at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards.
