The Rest Of My Life is the second track on Prince’s 22nd album The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale, and, around the time of the album’s release, The Rest Of My Life was available as a promo release in Japan.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in mid-April 1992 at Platinum Studios, Melbourne, Australia (while also on the Diamonds And Pearls Tour, during the same set of sessions as Don’t Talk 2 Strangers, Poor Little Bastard, There Is Lonely, Be My Mirror, Wow and re-recordings of Make Believe and I’ll Do Anything). The song was written specifically for the James L. Brooks movie I’ll Do Anything, but is not known to have been considered for the movie, and was not included on a planned I’ll Do Anything album.
