In a 2004 MTV special, Prince joked that he wrote the song while looking at himself in the mirror. "Cream" became Prince's fifth and last number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100, staying at the top for two weeks.

The pearls in the accompanying music video come from Connie Parente, a Los Angeles jewelry collector and designer.
