In a 2012 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] discussed the recording process of the song:<br>''"[[U Got The Look]] was a track he'd basically finished for himself. It was just a [[Prince]] track. He said, 'Do you want to just come in and sing some backup vocals on the choruses?' So I went into the studio, and because I didn't know I was singing against him... I was all over the place - and he said he kind of liked that, so he expanded it into a duet."'' | In a 2012 interview, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheena_Easton Sheena Easton] discussed the recording process of the song:<br>''"[[U Got The Look]] was a track he'd basically finished for himself.
