"Scandalous" (modified to "Scandalous!" for single release) is the eighth track on Prince's soundtrack album Batman and was released as the album's fourth single, five months after the album was released. The music is attributed to Prince and his father, John L. Nelson. A maxi single was released after the single titled The Scandalous Sex Suite, which contained a three-part 19-minute suite of the song "Scandalous", with the three parts named The Crime, The Passion, and The Rapture. Kim Basinger, who was dating Prince at the time and who also played the character Vicki Vale in Batman, also appeared on the maxi single.
An edited version of the song plays over the end credits of the Batman film, following Danny Elfman's "Batman Theme Reprise." Elfman integrated portions of the melody of "Scandalous!" into his Batman score, most notably in the scene in which Vicki Vale confronts Bruce Wayne in the Batcave.
