− | Basic tracking took place in early-to-mid 2011, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, Minnesota. The original studio version of the track was played by DJ Rashida prior to [[Prince]]'s DJ set on [[19_January 2013|19 January 2013, Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant, Minneapolis, Minnesota]] (along with [[The Breakdown]]). While the original version, as released on the album, is a horn-driven funk version, [[Prince]] and [[3rdEyeGirl]] re-recorded the track in early 2013, also at [[Paisley Park Studios]]. This version was later described by [[Prince]] as "slinky rock", and remains unreleased. | + | Basic tracking took place in early-to-mid 2011, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
