In December 1989, the song was taken from the vault and reworked as [[New Power Generation]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same sessions that produced [[Round And Round]]). It was considerably overdubbed but retained the original drum track of Morris Day, buried in the mix. The lyrics and the melody stayed more or less intact. As ''' New Power Generation''', the song was included as the second track on a late 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], with a shorter '''Reprise''' as the 14th and final track. It was kept as the second track on a 1990 configuration, with '''Pt. II''' as the 17th and final track, where they stayed for the final release. Among others it uses a keyboard part that had appeared earlier in [[Flesh And Blood]] recorded in the Summer of 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, for use on the proposed [[Album: Jill Jones (1990)|second album]] by [[Jill Jones]]. | In December 1989, the song was taken from the vault and reworked as [[New Power Generation]] at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same sessions that produced [[Round And Round]]).
