This version was included as the fourth track on a planned [[Album: I’ll Do Anything (1994)|I’ll Do Anything]] album. While [[Prince]] was not directly involved in this version, it is included in the listing here as his own version was intended as a demo for the soundtrack version. When preview audience reactions to the music were overwhelmingly negative, all production numbers from the film were cut, and the album was abandoned. No further changes were made to [[Prince]]’s original version before its release. <br> | ||
