Specific recording dates are not known, but as the track borrows heavily from the music of [[Gett Off]] (recorded [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 10|10 May 1991]]), it is likely that the track was recorded in early Summer 1991, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. A single release of [[Single: Gangster Glam|Gangster Glam]] was planned, with tracklists for a 7" single and a 12" single existing, containing remixes of the track.

A video of the track was included as the fourth track on the Gett Off home video.
