− | Specific recording dates for the track are not known, but it is assumed to have been recorded in early-mid 2000 at [[Paisley Park Studios]]. It was initially included as the tenth and final track on the [[Album: High|High]] album, announced as completed (as a "rough draft") on [[NPGOnlineLtd.com]] on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August 8|8 August 2000]], before the album was abandoned. On [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/September 16|16 September 2000]], [[NPGOnlineLtd.com]] announced that [[Prince]] had been filming "clips of songs (not fully produced videos)" for an upcoming online project - it is likely, therefore, that the 1:09 video released concurrently with the song through the [[NPG Music Club]] is all that was recorded. | + | Specific recording dates for the track are not known, but it is assumed to have been recorded in early-mid 2000 at [[Paisley Park Studios]].
