[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] began playing the song live in October 1999, so it is possible the track was recorded in the studio then, but this is not known (the track is credited to [[Prince]] rather than [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]], but this should not be considered verification that it was recorded after he changed his name back to [[Prince]] in June 2000). |

+ | *For some unknown reason, the song (titled '''When Will We Be Paid (featuring Prince)''') was included as the seventh track of Hip Hop group Audio Stepchild’s first album ''"Land Of The Snake Charmer"'' released on July 24, 2001. This version included an extra rap by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Hay_(publicist) Jonathan Hay] and a vocal intro by Street Kat recorded and mixed at South Coast Recorders, Friendswood, Texas (with no involvement from [[Prince]]’s camp). [[Prince]]’s parts and the mix are otherwise identical to the single version. The licensing to create the CD single for [[Single: U Make My Sun Shine|U Make My Sun Shine]] with [[When Will We B Paid]] as the second track was given freely but it is not known if those additional parts and the inclusion of the song on Audio Stepchild’s album were made with [[Prince]]’s consent. | ||
