A similar extended version of this occurs after the main lyrics, but starts with the bass and also includes a lengthy <a href="/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> guitar solo. The bass is truly the "star" of this song, and Prince has remarked that this is one of his signature basslines, remarking no one can play the line like himself. He also said the same about the bassline of "<a href="/wiki/Let%27s_Work" title="Let's Work">Let's Work</a>". Despite the song being performed entirely by Prince, Day calls out "<a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Jam_and_Terry_Lewis" title="Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis">Terry</a>" before the bass solo. The drumbeat is also notable for its intricately programmed hi-hat pattern and its off-beat snare, utilizing an on-beat clap during the choruses and outro. </p><p>In a <a href="/wiki/Facebook" title="Facebook">Facebook</a> post from 2014, <a href="/wiki/Jesse_Johnson_(musician)" title="Jesse Johnson (musician)">Jesse Johnson</a> stated that the beat was a stock drumbeat from the <a href="/wiki/Linn_LM-1" title="Linn LM-1">Linn LM-1</a>, programmed by <a href="/wiki/Tower_of_Power" title="Tower of Power">Tower of Power</a> drummer <a href="/wiki/David_Garibaldi_(musician)" title="David Garibaldi (musician)">David Garibaldi</a>, and that Prince played the guitar using his <a href="/wiki/Hondo_(guitar_company)" title="Hondo (guitar company)">Hondo</a> Stratocaster.<sup id="cite_ref-PrinceVault_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PrinceVault-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However Garibaldi himself denied playing the beat in an article for Reverb.<sup id="cite_ref-Reverb_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reverb-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The U.S. 7-inch single was backed with a non-album track, "Grace",<sup id="cite_ref-Nilsen_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Nilsen-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which is a mock-interview between a cocky Day and an interviewer named Bridgette (played by Bridgette Harrington, who was Prince's accountants secretary), who Day keeps referring to as "Grace."
