The song was written specifically for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Brooks James L. Brooks] movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'll_Do_Anything I'll Do Anything], and the track was re-recorded by the ensemble cast for the movie, basically as a solo vocal performance by Tracey Ullman and was weaved into the movie at six different points during a rough cut of the movie (one of these scenes involved a childbirth sequence (cut from the final film) in which a woman sings "ow" instead of "wow"). One of these versions (it is not clear which one) was included as the first track on a planned [[Album: I'll Do Anything|I'll Do Anything]] album. While [[Prince]] was not directly involved in this version, it is included in the listing here as his own version remains unreleased and was intended as a demo for the soundtrack version. When preview audience reactions to the music were overwhelmingly negative, all production numbers from the film were cut, and the album was abandoned.
