  • The lyrics include the phrase "anotha motha furtha", a variation on the title of the Mother's Finest album Another Mother Further, on which Baby Love (released as a live version by Prince on Indigo Nights) first appeared. The album also includes a track titled Hard Rock Lover, which may have inspired Prince's own Hardrocklover.
  • While not being a single, the track entered SNEP Top Singles chart on 15 September 2014 at position 113. It remained in the chart only one week.
