The recording dates for [[Prince]]’s contributions are unknown, but it is likely the tracks were worked on during [[Milenia]]’s brief stint as background vocalists for [[Prince]] in late 2000 or early 2001. The songs were written by [[Milenia]] and produced by [[Kirk Johnson]] with additional production by [[Kip Blackshire]]. The album was mostly recorded at [[Kirk Johnson]]’s and [[Morris Hayes]]’ home-studios in Minnesota. In her book ''Purple Reigned On Me'' published in 2012, [[Mikele_White|Mikki White]] explained that [[Prince]] provided advices during the recording of the album although his contribution is uncredited: <br>''"We received his professional advice for songs and even re-did some songs he insisted that we to do over ''(sic)''. Once I remember him asking us to come to his studio (Paisley Park), to do a few songs over. We did. It happened to be a cool experience working with him because he was a perfectionist and was good at what he did (...).All of the songs we were to record were written by us; we arranged tge songs, prepared the vocals, and were ready to record. [[Prince]] scrutinized our lyrics and each song was reviewed microscopically. We ended-up co-writing several of our songs with [[Prince]]."'' | The recording dates for [[Prince]]’s contributions are unknown, but it is likely the tracks were worked on during [[Milenia]]’s brief stint as background vocalists for [[Prince]] in late 2000 or early 2001.
