"Just as Long as We're Together" was Prince's second single released from his 1978 debut album, For You. While "Soft and Wet" was more funk based, "Just as Long as We're Together" is an all-out disco track. The song was re-recorded multiple times to prove Prince's talents to Warner Bros. Records executives before receiving his 3-album recording contract. The lyrics are fairly tame and state that everything will be "alright" when he and his woman are together. The song consists of 2 verses and multiple repeats of the chorus before a coda at the end. The coda is actually an instrumental track originally called "Jelly Jam" that was added to "Just as Long as We're Together" and modified over time to blend into the main track.

The B-side of the track was the album track "In Love". The single flopped only reaching #91 on the R&B charts and not touching the pop charts.
