When Will We B Paid?, a cover version of the song When Will We Be Paid? by The Staple Singers (from their 1970 album We'll Get Over) is the b-side of a stand-alone single, U Make My Sun Shine, available to download on NPGOnlineLtd.com on 21 December, 2000, containing full artwork and instructions for burning the single to CD (the tracks and artwork were reached by navigating through a complicated puzzle). A CD version was released through retail stores four and a half months later, on 10 April, 2001.
Recording dates are unknown, but the track was believed to have been included on the aborted High, announced by NPGOnlineLtd.com to be complete (in rough form) on 8 August, 2000, which would suggest the track was recorded in late 1999 or 2000.  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 , but this should not be considered verification that it was recorded after he changed his name back to Prince in June, 2000).
