The song was initially included as the third track on the late April 1986 configuration of [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], and was kept as the third track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration, but was replaced by [[Train]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration. Engineer [[Susan Rogers]] has stated that [[Prince]] may have always planned on replacing the track before release, and used it as a placeholder to find a track with a similar feel. | The song was initially included as the third track on the late April 1986 configuration of [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]], and was kept as the third track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration, but was replaced by [[Train]] on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration.
