Writing credit is given to [[Joey Coco]], a pseudonym used on a few 1985-7 songs given to other artists (including [[You’re My Love]], [[Telepathy]] and [[Baby Go-Go]]). |
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_10|10 July 1985]] at the [[Washington Avenue Warehouse]] in Edina, Minnesota (two days after [[Love Or $|♥ Or $]], [[Girls & Boys]] and [[Alexa De Paris]], the same day as [[God Is Everywhere]]). It was initially considered for use on [[Album: Parade|Parade]] and/or [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]] but was instead saved for later use (it did, however, inspire the use of a neon telephone in Christopher Tracy’s apartment in the movie [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]). | Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July_10|10 July 1985]] at the [[Washington Avenue Warehouse]] in Edina, Minnesota (two days after [[Love Or $|♥ Or $]], [[Girls & Boys]] and [[Alexa De Paris]], the same day as [[God Is Everywhere]]).
