Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November_19|19 November 2004]], during a three-and-a-half hour session with [[Michael B.]] on drums and [[Sonny T.]] on bass at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota that also yielded [[3121]], [[From The Lotus...]], [[...Back 2 The Lotus]], [[Colonized Mind]], [[Love Like Jazz]], [[Wall Of Berlin]], [[Guitar]], [[Shameless]] and others tracks. In an August 2006 [http://www.moderndrummer.com/site/2006/08/michael-bland-2/#.VD7L3IvF_HI interview], [[Michael B.]] said they recorded eleven or twelve tracks that night. On a different occasion he later indicated that this was the last recording session they did with [[Prince]] for a while after that. Background vocal overdubs were subsequently done in 2007.<br>
While specific recording dates are not known, it is likely that initial tracking took place in 2006 or early 2007, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]], Chanhassen, MN, USA (although possibly at either [[3121 at The Rio]] Las Vegas, NV, USA or [[Circle House]] Miami, FL, USA). The track features past bandmembers [[Michael B.]] on drums and [[Sonny T.]] on bass guitar. The album's credits do not indicate who else played on the track, however.
