Four months after the album’s release, the track was also included as a b-side on the album’s third single in the UK and Europe, [[Single: Girls & Boys|Girls & Boys]] (not released in North America). In 1989, the track was included as the third and final track on a CD re-release of [[Single: Kiss|Kiss]], the album’s first single. The track also serves as the title track of [[Prince]]’s second feature film, [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]], although [[Prince]] chose to give the soundtrack album the title [[Album: Parade|Parade]], with the subtitle "Music from the motion picture [[Film: Under The Cherry Moon|Under The Cherry Moon]]". |

He then layered other instruments over all four tracks. [[Clare Fischer]] arranged and recorded orchestration for the song in June 1985 at Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, CA, but [[Prince]] preferred the track without orchestration, and chose to use the track without orchestration for the final release. [[Prince]]’s father, [[John L. Nelson]], receives co-writing credit, although his input is uncertain. |
