"The Arms of Orion" is a 1989 song by American musician Prince and Scottish singer and actress Sheena Easton.
Synthesizers also play a strong role throughout the song, programmed to emulate a string section.
The lyrics, written by Sheena Easton at Prince's suggestion, allude to the constellation of Orion.

David Giles from Music Week wrote, "Decidedly MOR ballad from the Batman LP which finds Prince duetting with Sheena Easton, the pair of them not sounding unlike Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston.
