An extended version (perhaps simply the original version before editing) was included as the 14th and final track on the 2001 companion album Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic, also as a hidden bonus track. Maceo Parker is credited as co-author of the track at the ASCAP.

Basic tracking dates are unknown, but the track was believed to have been recorded in Spring 1999 during sessions for the album; . This song is notable for containing Maceo Parker’s first appearance on a Prince-related recording. He would later join Prince’s band and record with him regularly.
