The track is largely a spoken-word track which at times samples most tracks from the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album (mostly) in order: [[My Name Is Prince]], [[Sexy M.F.]], [[Love 2 The 9's]], [[The Max]], [[Blue Light]], [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Wanna Melt With U]][[Eye Wanna Melt With U| Wanna Melt With U]], [[The Continental]], [[Damn U]], [[Arrogance]], [[And God Created Woman]], [[7]] and [[The Sacrifice Of Victor]], while also introducing each member of the [[Band: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]], serving as a commercial for the album (the promo video is in fact labeled "[[Video: 2 Whom It May Concern|Commercial]]" on promo VHS copies). The backing track is sampled directly from '''[[7]] (After 6 Long Mix)'''; it also contains a sample of ''God made Me Funky'' performed by The Headhunters, written by B. Maupin, B. Summers, P. Jackson, M. Clark and B. McKnight (from their 1975 album ''Survival Of The Fittest'', also sampled in [[The Sacrifice Of Victor]]). | |introduction = '''2 Whom It May Concern''' is a non-album track which first appeared on the UK version of the [[Single: My Name Is Prince|My Name Is Prince]] single, before appearing on the US single of [[Single: Damn U|Damn U]], while soon after appearing on the maxi-single of [[Single: 7|7]].
