Specific recording dates for the studio version are not known, but the track is believed to have been recorded in Autumn 1996 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (along with the rest of the album).
Specific recording dates are not known, but was recorded in the winter of 1996 / 1997 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, when sessions for the album took place. The song was performed on the [[One Nite Alone... Tour]] in 2002. [[Prince]] re-recorded '''The Other Side Of The Pillow''' with [[Maceo Parker]] (who was a band member on the [[One Nite Alone... Tour]]) in studio that year but, according to [[Maceo Parker|Parker]], they never got to finish it. He re-recorded the track (as '''Other Side Of The Pillow''') after [[Prince]]’s passing and included it on his album ''Soul Food: Cooking With Maceo'' released in 2020. As his new version contains no [[Prince]] input, it is not listed below.
