"5 Women" is a song recorded by American musician Prince. It was released as the second promotional single from his twenty-second studio album The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale (1999). It was issued in 1999 as a CD single, exclusively in Germany, receiving radio airplay in addition to the CD. Prince solely wrote and produced it, while a series of individuals provided various instrumentation for the track.
Unlike Prince's previous material, "5 Women" primarily takes influence from jazz music, instead of his traditional funk material. Joe Cocker, an English musician, released the track under "Five Women" for his 1991 studio album Night Calls before Prince released his version of it.
