During a Love4oneanother.com "? of the week" in 1999, a fan (using the name Arthur) asked:
- "In creating the song, "We March," did you have the then-upcoming Million Man March in mind? While at the march, I remember hearing several positive references to you and that song; in that it conveyed the spirit of the March."
To which Prince confirmed its earlier recording date:
- ""We March" was indeed played at the Million Man March over the loudspeakers, but in fact was written b4 eye had heard about the event."
