A tape photographed in [[Prince]]’s vault at [[Paisley Park Studios]] lists two takes of the song ("Takes 1 & 2") and a third version (the final) as [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 3|3 December 1990]]. An early mix of the track was intended initially as the first track on a [[Single: Gett Off|Gett Off]] EP also containing [[Gett Off]], [[Horny Pony]] and [[Money Don’t Matter 2 Night]], but this EP was aborted. The track was not included on the December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], indicating that it had not yet been recorded, but was included as the fourth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1991]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configurations, where it remained for release. | A tape photographed in [[Prince]]’s vault at [[Paisley Park Studios]] lists two takes of the song ("Takes 1 & 2") and a third version (the final) as [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 3|3 December 1990]].

This version was streamed on [[Prince_Streaming_Video_Channels|Prince’s Youtube channel]] and other streaming platforms on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 7|7 September 2023]] (almost 32 years date-to-date after the first release of the song) as a preview of this posthumous release. |
Remixes were made of the track for a single release, which gradually moved further away from the original track and were considered independent enough to warrant their own track names. These could be considered remixes of [[Cream]], but here are given their own entries: see [[Things Have Gotta Change (Tony M. Rap)]], [[2 The Wire (Creamy Instrumental)]], [[Get Some Solo]] and [[Do Your Dance|Do Your Dance (KC’s Remix)]] (which itself was remixed multiple times) for details of each track. | Remixes were made of the track for a single release, which gradually moved further away from the original track and were considered independent enough to warrant their own track names.
