Songs on the album largely feature Prince singing and accompanying himself on piano, making only occasional use of other instruments. It includes a cover of the Joni Mitchell classic "A Case of You", retitled "A Case of U", and thanks her in the liner notes.

One song that caused some controversy amongst fans[citation needed] is "Avalanche", which describes Abraham Lincoln as a racist. and includes the line "Mr. John Hammond with his pen in hand... Sayin' 'Sign your kingdom over to me and be known throughout the land!'"

One Nite Alone... was given to members of the NPG Music Club, separately and included in his One Nite Alone...Live box set. Original CD copies are quite rare. For many years, the primary way to hear the album was through bootlegs shared as MP3s. In 2015, the album was released on the Tidal streaming service, and on May 29, 2020, the album was released on vinyl.[citation needed]
