If It'll Make U Happy is an unreleased song recorded on 6 April, 1982 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (one day after 3 x 2 = 6). The song was recorded for possible inclusion on 1999, but it is not known if it was included on any configurations of the album.
During Prince: A Celebration in June, 2000, computer screens at Paisley Park Studios offered names of a selection of tracks which users could vote on for inclusion on Crystal Ball Volume II, and If It'll Make U Happy was included in the list of 22 tracks, it was not one of the 17 tracks chosen by fans, and the project was ultimately abandoned. It is not known whether this version was the same as an earlier version, or an alternate recording.
