Irresistible Bitch was released as the b-side of the single Let's Pretend We're Married, the fourth and final single from Prince's fifth album 1999.

In 1993, it was included as the eleventh track on The B-Sides compilation (included as the third and final disc on The Hits / The B-Sides).

While specific recording dates for the first incarnation of the song are not known, it was initially recorded in sequence with Feel U Up in late 1981 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

The released version is a re-recording done at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California on 15 September 1983 (five days before The Beautiful Ones).
