Prince has never been shy about calling out to women in his songs, and with his new track "Valentina," he's at it again. This time, the object of his affection is Salma Hayek, according to UsMagazine.com.
In the song, he sings, "Hey Valentina, tell your mama she should give me a call/ When she get tired of runnin' after you down the hall/ And she's all worn out from those late-night feedings/ And she's ready for another rock and roll meeting," making it fairly obvious that he's talking about the actress, since Valentina happens is the name of her 18-month-old daughter (with her husband, French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault).
Prince met Hayek after she directed the music video for "Te Amo Corazon" from his 2006 album, 3121, and at the time it was clear he was smitten with the Mexican screen siren. "Salma is the most thoughtful, attentive director I have ever worked with, an absolute joy," he said at the time.
While it's not clear just what Prince has in mind for his married friend, he's keeping his options open, also mentioning Hayek's close friend Penelope Cruz in the song's lyrics: "If Penelope wants to Cruz, there ain't no way that we ain't gon' dance."
