In April 1993, however, an instrumental version of the track was used as the theme music for BET's ''Video LP'' show. [[Pheromone]] was also included in the 1993 [[Project: Glam Slam Ulysses|Glam Slam Ulysses]] stage-show, during the segment titled "Circe" (credited, as was the whole project, to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). In 1994, four months before the album's release, the promotional video of [[Pheromone]] was included in [[TV Film: The Beautiful Experience|The Beautiful Experience]] TV movie (again credited, as was the whole project, to [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). |

After an instrumental version was used for BET's ''Video LP'' show in April 1993, the full studio version was premiered at [[Club: Glam Slam|Glam Slam]] in Minneapolis on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 5|5 June 1993]], where a listening booth was set up for people to listen to '''Pheromone''' and another unidentified track on headphones ([[2gether]] was premiered the same day at a party in Detroit). Lyric sheets for both songs were also present, but they were stolen, causing the planned after-party at [[Paisley Park Studios]] to be canceled. The song was premiered on European radio on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March 4|4 March 1994]], along with several other new studio and live tracks. The track was originally included as the fourth track on a March 1993 configuration of [[Album: Come|Come]]. It was also included on a configuration mentioned by [[Mayte]] in a letter to the fan magazine [[Magazine: Controversy|Controversy # 42]] dated [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 29|29 May 1993]]. It was kept for inclusion as the fifth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_11|11 March 1994]] configuration of [[Album: Come|Come]]. The album version begins with a segment of [[Orgasm|Poem]] which was edited out when the track became [[Orgasm]] ([[Race]], [[Dark]] and [[Letitgo]] include other segments in their opening seconds). |
