PrimeTime is a love story based on the early adventures of Cindi Mayweather (Janelle Monáe) and her first love Joey Vice (Miguel.) The Emotion Picture gives a glimpse at Cindi’s humble beginnings as a “cyber-server” at the Electric Sheep nightclub, a syn bar serving high-class “show droids” to the rich and lonely in a dangerous section of Metropolis known as Slop City. Incidentally, the innovative cybersoul music played at the club directly impacted Cindi, and she began singing and performing her own innovative compositions a short time after quitting this assignment. In addition, Cindi became determined to change the public perception of what an electric lady could be, dream and aspire to after working in the dismal conditions at the club.

Janelle Monae – PrimeTime Ft. Miguel Lyrics:
Tick-tock, I’m watching the clock
I can’t wait ’til we get to rock
I wanna scream and dream and throw a love parade
Is that okay?
Tonight it’s me and you alone
Won’t make a call, won’t even write a song
See I’ve been waiting and waiting for the time to say
Now listen baby
When you’re down, and it’s hard
And you feel like you’ve given your all
Baby I know we’ll always keep it real and true
Cause baby it’s a primetime for our love
Ain’t nobody peekin’ but the stars above
It’s a primetime for our love
And heaven is bettin’ on us
Bang bang, I’m calling your name
You’re like a fire the world can’t tame
I wanna riot ’til the stars come out and play
Is that okay? (Okay)
Tonight it’s me and you alone
Won’t take a call, won’t even write a song
This’ll be a personal kind of day
Listen baby
When you’re down, and it’s hard
And you feel like you’ve given your all
Baby my love is always right here for you
Yeah
Cause baby it’s a primetime for our love
Ain’t nobody peekin’ but the stars above
It’s a primetime for our love
And heaven is bettin’ on us
It’s a primetime for our love (yes it is)
Ain’t nobody peekin’ but the stars above
It’s a primetime for our love
And heaven is bettin’ on us
Cause baby it’s a primetime for our love
Ain’t nobody peekin’ but the stars above
It’s a primetime for our love
And heaven is bettin’ on us.
