Specific recording dates are not known, but initial tracking for the whole album took place in autumn, 2001 (most likely at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA), with saxophone overdubs by Candy Dulfer in early December, 2001. The song was included as the eighth track on the album Xenophobia before the title track was removed and the album renamed Xpectation.
