Prince co-wrote and co-produced the six Deliverance songs with frequent collaborator Ian Boxill between 2006 and 2008. Boxill completed and mixed the songs after Prince's death last year. Along with the title song, the EP includes a four-movement medley titled "Man Opera" that comprises the tracks "I Am," "Touch Me," "Sunrise Sunset" and "No One Else." The EP closes with an extended version of "I Am."
The six Deliverance tracks were also written while Prince was working as an independent artist and fittingly the EP will be released via the Vancouver-based indie label, RMA. In a statement, Boxill said, "Prince once told me that he would go to bed every night thinking of ways to bypass major labels and get his music directly to the public. When considering how to release this important work, we decided to go independent because that's what Prince would have wanted."
