There might be other versions of the song with her own backing music as the five tracks known to have been worked or re-worked by [[Prince]] were registered on September 1st 1993 as musical compositions by [[Ninety-9|Dietra Moses]] alone at the Library Of Congress. |
A lyrically identical but musically different version of the song without any [[Prince]] involvement was released on the album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_Simulation Subliminal Simulation] by the band [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Warriors_(band) Dream Warriors] in 1994 (Canada) and 1995 (USA). Since that version lacks any [[Prince]] involvement the track (as '''Burns 1''') is still regarded unreleased. | A lyrically identical but musically different version of the song without any [[Prince]] involvement was released on the album [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_Simulation Subliminal Simulation] by the band [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Warriors_(band) Dream Warriors] in 1994 (Canada) and 1995 (USA).

| + | It is unclear whether this short-lived collaboration between [[Prince]] and [[Ninety-9]] was intended to lead to an album or to a particular [[Album: Ninety-9 (1993)|project]]. [[Prince]] sampled the tracks heavily in 1993-5 recordings, however. A significant portion of the rap, as well as a looped sample of "Sex me?", was used in [[Joint 2 Joint]]. A sample of "Diss me" from the track was used in studio and live versions of [[Days Of Wild]] and the phrase "He’s always on some medication" was included on [[Mad]]. | ||
