Although it is likely that only [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]] appear on the track, it is listed as a song by [[The Time]] here as it was initially intended for the group, and the majority of [[The Time]]'s tracks only feature these two musicians. The song was discarded, and initially remained unreleased in this form, but was released in 2019 as a track on one of the bonus discs with the deluxe edition of the [[Album: 1999|1999]] album.
