The song was written by [[Lisa Coleman]], although the Library Of Congress lists the song as being written by [[Prince]], so both are given credit here, although the album does not contain any writing credits. |

As with much of the rest of the album, the recording mostly features only [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]], although [[Dr. Fink]] provides a synth solo, and [[Terry Lewis]] and [[Lisa Coleman]] appears on background vocals. |
