In 2002, a live version was included as the thirteenth track on the second disc of Prince's first live album One Nite Alone... Live! (along with recordings of One Nite Alone..., Starfish & Coffee and Sometimes It Snows In April from the same show).

Basic tracking for Free took place on 25 April 1982 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, (five days after D.M.S.R., the day before How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore).
