The background vocals unusually precede the lead vocals (rather than following them in the traditional manner) - this was created purely by accident as engineer [[Susan Rogers]] played back the layered vocals with incorrect intervals. [[Prince]] liked what he heard, and kept this arrangement. The track was included as the third track on the third and final disc of the on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] album, which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. |

After recording, [[Prince]] took a break before coming back to re-record the vocals, when he also replaced instrumentation to create the final album version. |
