This tape was broadcasted in early March 1994 (by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_40 Los 40 Principales] in Spain, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Veronica_(Talpa_Radio) Radio Veronica] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TROS Tros] in The Netherlands and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Radio_DRS DSR3] in the Switzerland). The studio version of the song was later aired at a party at [[Club: Glam Slam|Glam Slam]] in Minneapolis, Minnesota on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_16|16 March 1994]] (along with [[file:EyeBlue.png|link=Eye Hate U]][[Eye Hate U| Hate U]], [[Billy Jack Bitch]], [[Days Of Wild]] and a remix of [[Pope]], hours after recording [[Letitgo]]). | ||

It was included as the eighth track (fourth song) on March 1994, and May 1994, configurations of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]], before being included as the third song on a later 1994 configuration. The [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 13|13 October 1994]], configuration included '''Now''' as the 13th track (eighth song), before the track [[Days Of Wild]] was removed from the album for release. | ||
The track begins directly from the previous [[NPG Operator#NPG Operator # 3|NPG Operator]] segue, which states "You have just accessed the Now Experience" and lists other tracks of a similar style, such as [[Housequake]], [[Irresistible Bitch]], and [[Sexy M.F.]], and ends "but that was then, this is..." with the track beginning with a cry of "Now!"; the same segue was used prior to most live performances of the track. | The track begins directly from the previous [[NPG Operator#NPG Operator # 3|NPG Operator]] segue, which states "You have just accessed the Now Experience" and lists other tracks of a similar style, such as [[Housequake]], [[Irresistible Bitch]], and [[Sexy M.F.]], and ends "but that was then, this is..." with the track beginning with a cry of "Now!"; the same segue was used prior to most live performances of the track. | ||
