Gotta Broken Heart Again is the fourth track on Prince’s third album Dirty Mind, and, in late 1980, it was included as the second track on the promotional release of When You Were Mine, acting as more of an album sampler rather than a promo for When You Were Mine (following the album’s second single, Head). In 2003, a 2002 live version of the track was included on the DVD release Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas, and an audio version was included as the second track on the accompanying Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas promo CD.

While specific recording dates are not known, the song had existed for years (possibly since 1977). The recording sessions for Dirty Mind took place from May to June 1980, in Prince’s North Arm Drive Home Studio in Orono, Minnesota (credited as "Somewhere in Uptown"), and completed in June 1980 at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California.
