In 2007, the [[Single: Stand Back|Stand Back]] single was re-released, containing several new remixes of the track. [[Prince]] appears on the song playing keyboards (uncredited). It is not exactly clear, but it seems most likely he only played the bass-keyboard part. [[Prince]] was given co-writing credit as that keyboard line was heavily inspired by [[Prince]]’s own song [[Little Red Corvette]], but he had no direct input in writing the song. |

It just gave me an incredible idea, so I spent many hours that night writing a song about some kind of crazy argument, and it was to become one of the most important of my songs." When she later went to record the song, she called [[Prince]] to tell him the story and twenty minutes later [[Prince]] showed up at her studio. He "walked over to the synthesizers that were set up, was absolutely brilliant for about 25 minutes and then left," she later told rock music journalist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_White_(editor) Timothy White]. "He spoiled me for every band I’ve ever had because nobody can exactly recreate – not even with two piano players – what [[Prince]] did all by his little self." |
While a specific recording date of basic tracking is not known, it was written and cut by Stevie Nicks within a week of her 29 January wedding. [[Prince]] contributed his keyboard part on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February 8| 8 February 1983]] at Studio 55, Los Angeles, California | While a specific recording date of basic tracking is not known, it was written and cut by Stevie Nicks within a week of her 29 January wedding.
