In the article, Bream mentions that [[Prince]] explained the track as <blockquote>"''inspired by a meme of him and [[Apollonia]] riding on a motorcycle, clearly a scene taken from the 1984 movie [[Film: Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]. It’s a joyful ballad with some ecstatic Prince vocalizing.''"</blockquote> | |
