She and Prince reworked it in 1986, when they were having a brief relationship. Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 4|4 June 1986]] at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (the day after a configuration of the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album was made, the same day as saxophone overdubs on [[Yah, U Know]]). The track was initially included as the ninth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration of the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album. When the album developed into the triple-album [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]], the song was included as the seventh track on the first disc on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/November 30|30 November 1986]] configuration, which was eventually pared down and became [[Album: Sign O’ The Times|Sign O’ The Times]]. |
