Prince “When Doves Cry” Hoodie

“Maybe I’m just like my father — too bold…”

Released in 1984, “When Doves Cry” wasn’t just a hit — it was a cultural shockwave. Written, produced, and performed entirely by Prince, the track stripped away conventions: no bassline, no rules, just raw emotion and sonic brilliance. With its haunting keys, blistering guitar solo, and deeply personal lyrics, it redefined what pop music could be.

It became Prince’s first No. 1 single, spending five weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and anchoring the Purple Rain soundtrack — one of the most influential albums and films of the decade. “When Doves Cry” wasn’t just heard — it was felt.

Released on Warner Bros. Records, the 12-inch version gave fans a closer look at Prince’s artistry with its extended version and unforgettable label design. The Warner Bros. shield, with its rich legacy in music history, is featured here just as it appeared on that pressing.

Bold. Brilliant. Unapologetic. Wear “When Doves Cry” and carry Prince’s legacy with every step.
