１９８１年秋天　２３歲的美國黑人音樂才子王子（Prince）發行第四張大碟［Controversy／爭議］（Warner Bros.）

這張大碟共八首歌曲　王子包辦七首歌曲創作　並獨自擔綱編曲／製作

專輯融合多種樂風　再度獲得良好樂評（滾石３星半）

大碟登上Billboard專輯榜＃２１　副榜──黑人榜＃３　至今賣出一百多萬張（白金唱片）

名列１９８２年Billboard年終專輯榜＃５９

英國雖沒入榜, 但後來靠著王子的聲名, 也拿到金唱片（１０萬張）

１９８２年１月，王子推出第二北美單曲／專輯第三主打［Lets Work／我們來玩吧］

此曲起源自明尼亞波利斯當地小孩流行的舞蹈‘The Rock’,王子迅速寫成一首歌曲［Lets Rock］,並希望華納唱片立即推出單曲, 但被公司拒絕

王子很失望, 並沒把［Lets Rock］放入［Controversy／爭議］大碟

取而代之的是將此曲改寫成［Lets Work］

王子將［Lets Work］製作成一首放克／後迪斯可舞曲

旋律琅琅上口，節拍輕快討好，王子以假音演繹

［Lets Work］並　沒打入Billboard單曲榜,

但升到副榜──靈魂單曲榜＃９　舞曲榜冠軍，是王子最受歡迎的舞曲之一．
