In a session at a later date [[Prince]] had his (girl)friend [[Kim Upsher]] record lead vocals on the song. The song initial recording date and overdub date likely fall before [[Prince]] meeting [[Vanity]], so the fact he had [[Kim Upsher]] record vocals for it might indicate [[Prince]] considered using it for the girl group [[The Hookers]] that he was developing ideas for, and ultimately became [[Vanity 6]]. | In a session at a later date [[Prince]] had his (girl)friend [[Kim Upsher]] record lead vocals on the song.

[[Eric Leeds]] later added saxophone overdubs on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/May 12|12 May 1991]] (two days after [[Gett Off]] was recorded, on the same day as [[Blue Light]]), and the song was copyrighted (retitled '''U’re All I Want''') on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 17|17 June 1991]]; it is likely that this version was instrumental. In 2000, it was listed (as '''U’re All Eye Want''') as one of 22 tracks [[Prince: A Celebration]] attendees could vote on for inclusion in the [[Album: Crystal Ball Volume II|Crystal Ball Volume II]] release, and was chosen as one of the 17 final selections. It is unknown if the version intended for inclusion was the original 1982 recording or the 1991 version (or an unknown third recording). The project was ultimately abandoned, however, and the track remained unreleased until the original 1982 recording was released in 2019 as the tenth track on the ''Vault Tracks part 1'' disc of a ''Super Deluxe'' edition of the [[Album: 1999 Deluxe|1999]] album. |
