Prince has said that the album took ten years to make.[3] According to him, "I was trying to put out a record since I was about 20 years old, and it wasn't until I was 29 that it actually happened. I ran into a lot of a lot of things on the way, personally and financially; the things that stop you from wanting to put your art out. You name it, it was there. I worked with a bad producer in the beginning who took all my money, and it ended with my father passing away six months before the record was supposed to come out. I believe in everything happening at the right time. I think all that suffering and wondering would have been for nothing if I didn't put out a record. If you don't put anything out how do you know you're getting any better, or growing, or changing, or evolving in any way? I got the money together and I was able to finally record some songs in Winnipeg."[4]
The album was produced by Scott Nolan,[5] and includes contributions from Lynn Miles.[6] The 2018 reissue featured a new rerecording of "Breathless" produced by Dave Cobb,[2] which reached #22 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts in 2018.[7]
