The track was included as the 13th and final track on the December 1990, configuration of the [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]] album, but was removed for later configurations. The track was re-recorded in early 1992 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] (during the same set of sessions that produced [[The Continental]], [[Damn U]], [[3 Chains O' Gold]], [[Born 2 B.R.E.E.D.]], [[With This Tear]], [[Qualified]] and a revamped version of [[Sex]]). It was included as the 17th track (eleventh song) on a March 1992, configuration of the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album and the 17th track (twelfth song) on a late Summer, 1992, configuration, before the album's [[Symbol_segues|segues]] were removed for release. |
The 1990 version contained a chant of "[[Michael B.]] in the house", which was later reused on [[Daddy Pop]]; this isn't considered to be a sample or reference to this track, however. Also of note in the re-recording is that a lyric about "the brother" was changed to "the woman" to fit in with the female reporter storyline running throughout the [[File:SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Album: Symbol]] album. | The 1990 version contained a chant of "[[Michael B.]] in the house", which was later reused on [[Daddy Pop]]; this isn't considered to be a sample or reference to this track, however.
