The song was recorded amidst sessions that would yield material for [[The Time]]’s album [[Album: Ice Cream Castle|Ice Cream Castle]]. Multiple takes were done, but the trio wasn’t fully committed that day. Two days earlier, [[Prince]] had fired [[Jimmy Jam]] and [[Terry Lewis]] from [[The Time]] which caused tension between him, [[Morris Day|Day]] and [[Jesse Johnson|Johnson]]. | ||
'''Sleazy''' is described as a funky instrumental with elements that recall [[Cloreen Bacon Skin]]. No lyrics were written for the track on this date and (like for [[My Love Belongs To You]]), it is unclear if it was ever completed. | |||
