"Take Me with U" is a song by Prince and The Revolution, and the final U.S. single released from their album, Purple Rain. It is a pop song notable for the drum solo and finger cymbals that open the song and repeat again toward the end. The single was released with an edit of album track "Baby I'm a Star" as its B-side, and reached #25 on the top 40 chart in the U.S. In the UK, the song was issued as a double A-sided single, coupled with "Let's Go Crazy", reaching #7 in February 1985. Lisa Coleman sang underneath Apollonia's vocals to add fullness.[citation needed]

| - "Take Me with U" is a song by Prince and The Revolution, and the final U.S. single released from their album, Purple Rain. It is a pop song notable for the drum solo and finger cymbals that open the song and repeat again toward the end. The song is sung as a duet with Apollonia Kotero, and was originally intended for the Apollonia 6 album, but was pulled for the Purple Rain soundtrack. A result of this addition, Prince made cuts to the suite-like original "Computer Blue", which circulates amongst collectors in an extended version (a portion of this second section of "Computer Blue" can be heard in the film Purple Rain as Prince walks in on the men of The Revolution rehearsing.) The original version of the song was about a minute longer. The single was released with an edit of album track "Baby I'm a Star" as its B-side, and reached #25 on the top 40 chart in the U.S. In the UK, the song was issued as a double A-sided single, coupled with "Let's Go Crazy", reaching #7 in February 1985.
