A different version, possibly an instrumental remix, is heard in the background during a scene in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman]. In 2001, a 1995 live version was released as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_2|NPG Music Club Edition # 2]]. In 2005, the same live version was included on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/March_26|Live From Paisley Park]] download EP. |

The song was written for [[Anna Garcia]], and was given to her upon her arrival at [[Paisley Park]] on which she says was her eighteenth birthday, [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 31|31 December 1988]], (although it seems more likely she in fact turned 19 on that day) along with a pink cashmere coat (the song [[Pink Cashmere]] had been recorded six months previously). [[Prince]] asked [[Anna Garcia]] for permission to change the lyrics for use in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film) Batman] movie to fit the lead female character [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Vale Vicki Vale], and the title and other lyrics were changed in February 1989. |
