[[Prince]]'s involvement in the album came by chance, as he dropped by [[Paisley Park Studios]] while [[David Z.|David Z. Rivkin]] and [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] were recording with [[Elisa Fiorillo]] in September 1989, and he liked what he heard. He immediately helped write the track they were working on, [[I Am]], before helping to write [[On The Way Up]]. He submitted [[Playgirl]], [[Love's No Fun]] and [[Ooh This I Need]] in late 1989 and early 1990. | [[Prince]]'s involvement in the album came by chance, as he dropped by [[Paisley Park Studios]] while [[David Z.|David Z.
