| Basic tracking dates are not known, but the track is believed to have been recorded in 2013, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. According to an interview [[Liv Warfield]] gave to [http://www.oregonlive.com/music/index.ssf/2014/01/liv_warfield_prince_unexpected_jimmy_fallon.html Oregon Live], [[Prince]] wrote the song for [[Liv Warfield|Warfield]] after she had decided on the album's title; she did not have a title track for the album until that point. The lyrics of the song point to the track's two titles, stating "u can call it the unexpected or u can call it... wow!" Although [[Liv Warfield]]'s version could be considered a cover version (since it does not include [[Prince]] as a musician), it was released before [[Prince]]'s own, so it is included here. | | Basic tracking dates are not known, but the track is believed to have been recorded in 2013, most likely at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
