Additional Information
See also Trivia
  • Although Anna Fantastic said she got a cassette with the song together with an actual pink cashmere coat, somewhere in the second half of 1988, another girl named Vivian that Prince was seeing at the time he recorded the song, thinks she also could have been inspiration for it.

    She used to call Prince 'my little man' – as he sings in the lyrics, and he played her the song one time while picking her up from the airport, providing her with the lyrics to read.

    Vivian would later play the part of 'Miss Thang' in T.C. Ellis' video for the song with the same name.
