Recording process
Initial tracking took place on 9 June 1988, at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (three days after Electric Chair, on the same day as Times Squared (That was then known as Sticky Wicked, not to be confused by the Chaka Khan song of the same name, and Pickle, two days before an entirely different song named Sticky Wicked).
The synths from the initial tracking session were added to by Clare Fischer's orchestration at Mad Hatter Studios, Los Angeles, CA, USA at a later date.

|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.
