| Although specific recording dates are unknown, basic tracks were recorded in June 1990 in London, England ([[Prince]] worked in three different London studios, [[Olympic Studio]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse_Studios Townhouse Studios] and [[Metropolis]] - it isn't known which studio was used for this song). The same set of sessions produced [[Daddy Pop]], [[Schoolyard]] and [[Walk Don't Walk]], but mostly focused on a solo album by [[Rosie Gaines]], for which [[Hold Me]] was recorded, along with [[Pain]], [[Streetwalker]], [[In The Name Of Love]], [[Turn Your Lights Down Low]] and [[My Tender Heart]]. More work was done on the track in October 1991, and the track was offered to Anita Baker, who turned it down, before [[Prince]] offered it to [[Jevetta Steele]], who simply overdubbed her vocals. | | Although specific recording dates are unknown, basic tracks were recorded in June 1990 in London, England ([[Prince]] worked in three different London studios, [[Olympic Studio]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townhouse_Studios Townhouse Studios] and [[Metropolis]] - it isn't known which studio was used for this song).
