An early vocal run-through of the track, with different instrumentation, was released as the ninth track of ''Vault Tracks part 2'', one of the discs with previously unreleased tracks included with the [[Album: Sign O’ The Times Deluxe|Sign O’ The Times ''Super Deluxe Edition'']] in 2020, and was released to streaming and downloading platforms four weeks prior to the set’s release. After recording, [[Prince]] took a break before coming back to re-record the vocals, when he also replaced instrumentation to create the final album version. A live version was also included in the concert movie [[Film: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]], also incorporating lyrics from [[It]]. |

The background vocals unusually precede the lead vocals (rather than following them in the traditional manner) - this was created purely by accident as engineer [[Susan Rogers]] played back the layered vocals with incorrect intervals. [[Prince]] liked what he heard, and kept this arrangement. The track was included as the third track on the third and final disc of the on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album, which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. |

It was made to replicate the original mix from the time the song was initially tracked, as much as possible. So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track. |
