A faixa integrou originalmente o álbum "Camille", um projeto planejado para ser lançado sob a persona de alter ego de Prince.
A letra aborda uma perspectiva andrgina de um homem que imagina como seria a dinâmica de intimidade se ele fosse a namorada platônica de sua amada.
Especula-se que a composição reflita os sentimentos de ciúme de Prince em relação ao laço apertado entre sua noiva na época, Susannah Melvoin, e sua irmã gêmea, Wendy.
O início da música apresenta uma colagem sonora única que mistura o afinamento de uma orquestra, a voz de um vendedor e um sample da "Marcha Nupcial" de Felix Mendelssohn.
Um erro técnico raro cometido pela engenheira de som Susan Rogers causou distorção em algumas vogais, mas Prince gostou tanto do efeito que manteve na versão final lançada.
Embora tenha atingido apenas a posição 67 na Billboard Hot 100, a música foi um grande sucesso na rádio negra dos EUA, chegando à 12ª posição na parada Hot Black Singles.
