The song evolved from a jam session, in which [[Michael B.]] began playing a drum pattern from an not well-known song by British band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockpile Rockpile]. [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] added a bass line, and [[Prince]] began to add guitar chords. Additional recording took place after the [[Nude Tour]] in September and later in December 1990 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. |
