I Wish U Heaven is the eighth song on Prince's tenth album Lovesexy, and, four and a half months after the album's release, I Wish U Heaven was released as the album's third and final single. It was not included on the The B-Sides compilation, but was instead included as a b-side on the European single Peach. The extended version, titled I Wish U Heaven (Part 1, 2 & 3), uses lyrics from Take This Beat, recorded a few months earlier, in its final section.
Initial tracking took place in on 31 January 1988 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (two days after re-recording Lovesexy). Recording and remixing dates for I Wish U Heaven (Part 1, 2 & 3) are not known, but this likely took place in Spring or early Summer, 1988, at Paisley Park Studios, shortly before leaving on the Lovesexy Tour.
