I Love U in Me

Prince, the legendary singer-songwriter also renowned for his guitar playing, stood shoulder to shoulder with Michael Jackson in the 1980s thanks to his overwhelming musical prowess.

Among his works, one track that’s especially wrapped in an emo vibe is “I Love U in Me.” The title is tricky and hard to render directly into Japanese, but essentially it conveys something like “I cherish you as much as I do myself.” True to that title, the lyrics express profound affection for a loved one.
