If I Could Get Your Attention is the sixth track on Taja Sevelle's first album Taja Sevelle. If I Could Get Your Attention was written by Prince, although credited to Taja Sevelle, who wrote additional lyrics, and was produced by Prince (although credited to the album's main producer, Chico Bennett).
Initial tracking (with Prince on vocals) took place on 10 May, 1986, at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (four days after recording incidental music for Under The Cherry Moon, on the same day as Frustration, the day before Boy U Bad and It). Recording dates and studio information for Taja Sevelle's vocal overdubs are not known. In mid-September, 1993, the song was tried out during early sessions for Mayte's first album at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA, and was included as the fifth track on an early version of the album, which was titled Latino Barbie Doll at the time. The track was removed when the album evolved into Child Of The Sun, however.
