"Count the Days" was the final single released from New Power Generation's 1995 album, Exodus. The bluesy ballad companied by little more instrumentation than the guitar. The lyrics describe negative situations, while the Prince "counts the days" until life is better.

The CD single was released in Europe with the harsher profanity removed. Its B-side was album track "New Power Soul", a mostly instrumental number with the title repeated throughout. "New Power Soul" is a band-oriented, laid-back funk jam, allowing solos for the horn section, drums and organ. Background noise was added to sound as if the song was recorded with an audience.
