A versão original de “When You Were Mine” foi gravada em 1980 e aparece no álbum *Dirty Mind*, sendo uma das primeiras faixas que destacaram o uso de um órgão inspirado na Farfisa, tocado com um Oberheim OB‑X.
Apesar de não ter sido lançada como single, a música recebeu um lançamento promocional em 12” nos anos 80, acompanhada por “Gotta Broken Heart Again” e “Uptown”.
Em 1981, o título tornou-se a faixa B do single “Controversy”, evidenciando a prática de Prince de colocar canções menos promocionadas em lados secundários de lançamentos.
A faixa foi incluída no álbum ao vivo *One Nite Alone… Live!* (2002), mostrando que Prince continuou a apresentá‑la em performances ao vivo mais de uma década depois de sua gravação inicial.
Em 1993, a gravação de estúdio de “When You Were Mine” foi re‑lançada no coletânea *The Hits/The B‑Sides*, indicando seu valor contínuo dentro do catálogo de Prince e a atenção dada aos lados B de seus trabalhos.
