Although specific recording dates are unknown, [[Ingrid Chavez]]’s vocal track was recorded with an improvised electric piano backing by [[Prince]] in mid-December 1987, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (shortly after cancelling the release of [[Album: The Black Album|''“The Black Album”'']], during the same set of sessions as [[Reason Enough]], [[Heaven Must Be Near]], [[Crystal City Cry]], [[Wintersong]], [[Whispering Dandelions]], [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Candle Dance]], [[Touch Of Love]], [[Blue Boy]], [[Jadestone]], [[Sad Puppet Dance]], [[Standing In The Rain]] and [[Cross The Line]]). [[Prince]] recorded a new musical backing for the track in early March 1991, at [http://www.larrabeestudios.com/ Larrabee Sound Studios] in North Hollywood, California (during the same set of sessions as recording new musical backings for [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Jadestone]] and [[Whispering Dandelions]]). It is likely that the remixes included on the single were recorded in Summer 1991, although recording dates and locations are not known. | Although specific recording dates are unknown, [[Ingrid Chavez]]’s vocal track was recorded with an improvised electric piano backing by [[Prince]] in mid-December 1987, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (shortly after cancelling the release of [[Album: The Black Album|''“The Black Album”'']], during the same set of sessions as [[Reason Enough]], [[Heaven Must Be Near]], [[Crystal City Cry]], [[Wintersong]], [[Whispering Dandelions]], [[Slappy Dappy]], [[Candle Dance]], [[Touch Of Love]], [[Blue Boy]], [[Jadestone]], [[Sad Puppet Dance]], [[Standing In The Rain]] and [[Cross The Line]]).
