“Delirious” was released as the third single off of Prince’s 1982 album 1999.

The electric, fast-paced, rock n' roll infused tune sees Prince crushing on a girl that he can’t handle.

Prince performed “Delirious” as yet another attempt of rockabilly. It’s little wonder why a genre initially deemed too black for country radio and too white for R’n’B stations would appeal to someone trying to escape radio segregation himself. And this may be another reason why he abandoned the genre post-1983.
