Guess Who's Knockin' is the second track on the New Power Generation's first 'solo' album Gold Nigga. It was removed from later printings of the album, however, due to its musical and lyrical use of portions of the Wings song Let 'Em In (written by Paul and Linda McCartney, from the 1976 album Wings At The Speed Of Sound). It is unclear if this was a result of some action by McCartney, or simply that Prince realized it was borrowed (in the same way as when Cat's rap was removed from Positivity).
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in August-December 1992, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as Johnny, Black M.F. In The House, and the album's segues).
