+ | The song was based on a track called ''Carousel'', written by [[Wendy Melvoin]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] in 1985. Before recording [[Prince]] came up with a melody and wrote lyrics for the song. [[Wendy Melvoin|Wendy]] & [[Lisa Coleman|Lisa]] names were left off the credits on the initial release on [[Album:_The_Hits_/_The_B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]], and the song was initially registered at ASCAP as a [[Prince]] solo composition. However this was corrected in October 1993. | ||
The track was recorded live on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_19|19 March 1986]] (the same day as [[And How]]) at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, during initial sessions for the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album ([[Album:_The_Hits_/_The_B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]] liner notes incorrectly state that it was recorded at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota). The song was not included on the late April configuration of the album, but was included on a configuration made on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]], before being removed again for the July configuration. The instrumental intro to the song was removed when the track was placed on [[Album:_The_Hits_/_The_B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]] in 1993. | The track was recorded live on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_19|19 March 1986]] (the same day as [[And How]]) at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, during initial sessions for the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album ([[Album:_The_Hits_/_The_B-Sides|The Hits / The B-Sides]] liner notes incorrectly state that it was recorded at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota).
