He then layered other instruments over all four tracks. [[Clare Fischer]] arranged and recorded orchestration for the song at some point in mid-late 1985 at Monterey Sound Studios, Glendale, CA, USA, 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. |
[[Prince]] re-used some of the song's medley in [[The Question Of U]], recorded three months later. | [[Prince]] re-used some of the song's medley in [[The Question Of U]], recorded three months later. | ||
