The track features [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]], but they are not credited on the released version, despite their contributions remaining intact. |

[[Prince]]’s original call-outs to [[Wendy Melvoin]] in the lyrics were changed to [[Morris Day]] calling out [[Jesse Johnson]], although the guitar part is still [[Wendy Melvoin]]’s solo; [[Jesse Johnson]] was heavily involved in choosing this track for [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]], however, so it is surprising he did not re-record the guitar solo in 1989. |
