"Scandalous" is a smooth, romantic song by Prince, released as a single off his 1989 Batman
soundtrack. It was released as a regular 7" Single, backed with "When 2 R In Love" (from the previous year's Lovesexy, and also in 12" Single EP form under the title The Scandalous Sex Suite. The five-track release contained three remixes of "Scandalous" ("The Crime", "The Passion", "The Rapture"), a new B-side "Sex" and "When 2 R In Love".

The song continues a long tradition of Prince's sexually charged ballads, with gasped, passionate vocals on lyrics such as "I can't wait till I can wrap my legs all around U". The track features a drum machine and synthesizers, which sample Clare Fisher's orchestra. The music is attributed to Prince and his father, John L. Nelson. The Scandalous Sex Suite has the song as a 3-parter. Part one has an intro with a conversation between Prince and Kim Basinger with various lyrics from the song interspersed. Part two features the main song with new lyrics sung overtop the original. Part three includes a long guitar solo before finishing up the conversation from part one.

The B-side, "Sex" is a minimalist funk number featuring mainly a drum machine loop, a repeated synth hook and bass guitar. The song expectedly includes adult lyrics, but also goes to state that safe sex is preferable and multiple partners can lead to death. The song was co-written with Levi Seacer, Jr.
