Initial tracking took place in October 1990 at [[Larrabee Sound Studios]], Los Angeles, CA, USA. The track was included as the seventh track on the December 1990, configuration of [[Album: Diamonds And Pearls|Diamonds And Pearls]], but was moved to become the twelfth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_1|1 March 1991]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 8|8 May 1991]] configurations, where it remained for release.
Basic tracking was done at [http://www.larrabeestudios.com/ Larrabee Sound Studios] in North Hollywood, California on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 8|8 October 1990]].
