| Initial tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in 1995 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA. An earlier mix of the track was included as the ninth and final track on a July 1995, configuration of [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]], and as the first track on another 1995 configuration. Prior to the [[09_September 1995-am|9 September 1995 (a.m.)]] show at [[Paisley Park Studios]], pink sheets of paper were handed out to the audience with the title "Emancipation", but the poem written was entirely different than the song's lyrics (see trivia below); no recording is known to have been made of this poem. | | Initial tracking dates are unknown, but it is likely that the track was recorded in 1995 at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA.
