| Basic tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely the track was recorded between Fall 2011 and early 2012 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, during recording sessions for [[Andy Allo]]’s second album [[Album: Superconductor|Superconductor]], that also produced [[Breakdown]], [[Time]] and [[When Stars Collide]], which ended up on [[Andy Allo]]'s [[Album: Superconductor|Superconductor]] album and uses the phrase “this is what it feels like” repeatedly.
