Initial tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in early 1996 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (engineer César Sogbe also worked on Chaos And Disorder at the same time). It contains a sample of "Squib Cakes" (miscredited as "Squibcakes") by Tower Of Power (written by Chester Thompson, from their 1974 album Back To Oakland), which was previously sampled on Release It.
