A versão do álbum para "1999" começa com uma voz abafada e lenta que diz à ouvinte: "Não se preocupe, eu não vou te machucar. Eu só quero que você se divirta."
Prince compartilhou os vocais principais com os membros da sua banda The Revolution, especificamente com Dez Dickerson, Lisa Coleman e Jill Jones.
A melodia das estrofes foi reutilizada por Prince (sob o pseudônimo "Christopher") na música "Manic Monday", que originalmente foi escrita para a banda Apollonia 6, mas acabou sendo dada às The Bangles no último minuto.
Em 1998, Prince gravou uma nova versão da música com o New Power Generation, intitulada 1999: The New Master, que, apesar de ser criticada, atingiu a posição #40 nos EUA, tornando-se seu último hit no top 40 até a data do texto.
No Réveillon de 1999, Prince realizou um concerto chamado Rave Un2 the Year 2000 em seu estúdio Paisley Park e jurou nunca mais tocar a música ao vivo, embora a tenha reintroduzido na setlist em agosto de 2007, após oito anos de ausência.
A Rolling Stone classificou a música na posição #212 em sua lista das 500 Maiores Músicas de Todos os Tempos.
