Two months after the album’s release, [[Single: Somebody’s Somebody|Somebody’s Somebody]] was released as the album’s second promotional single, available only in the USA (in the UK, the same tracks were included on the retail release of [[Single: The Holy River|The Holy River]], released on the same date). A year before the album’s release, however, a clip of the song containing vocals by [[Derick Hughes]] (a friend of [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]]’s) was included as the fourteenth track (eighth song) on [[Sampler: NPG Records Sampler Experience|NPG Records Sampler Experience]], a cassette sampler given out to select audience members during [[The Ultimate Live Experience]] tour in UK and Europe. |

[[Prince]] liked the lyrics and put music to it, but at the time didn’t use it for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis_Staples Mavis Staples]' album. [[Prince]] then asked Eager and Hilliard for more material, which yielded [[Hide The Bone]]. |

It is not known if [[Prince]]’s vocals pre-date this or were recorded later. It is also not known when [[Prince]] worked on the '''Ultrafantasy Edit''' and '''Livestudio Mix''' versions of the track, but these were likely recorded in the second half of 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], shortly after [[Rhonda Smith]] joined the band. The song’s instrumentation was also used as the background of '''On Sale Now!''', an advertisement skit featuring [[Prince]] as a customer calling [[1-800 New Funk]] and ordering products. It is likely that it was recorded in late 1996, and is included here as it is not a song in its own right. |
