[[Sheila E.]]'s percussion was recorded in the first few days of April 1984 at [[Sunset Sound]]. Some distorted and backmasked vocals by [[Prince]] can be heard in the background of the track, marking the earliest [[Prince]]-related release to feature backmasked lyrics (released three weeks before [[Album: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]], which also contained some). |
