− | Initial tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in two parts in Summer 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA; while the first part is a solo performance by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]), the second part of the track features [[Rhonda Smith]] and [[Kat Dyson]], who joined [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]'s band in June 1996. The backing track features a loop of the ultrasound heartbeat of [[Prince]] and [[Mayte]]'s unborn child (later named "Gregory"), and the [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] album notes state that the original title of the track (presumably with different lyrics) was '''Conception'''. | + | Initial tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in two parts in Summer 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA; while the first part is a solo performance by [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]), the second part of the track features [[Rhonda Smith]] and [[Kat Dyson]], who joined [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]'s band in June 1996.
