It's possible that Prince played other synth parts that didn't make the final mix. Synth player Dave Bluefield (who also programmed the song's rhythm on a drum machine) revealed that while he played the main chords on the song (using an Oberheim OB-Xa synthesizer), Prince did the "8th note up beats" in the upper octaves during the choruses (first heard at the 0:54 mark - supposedly played with just two fingers). Then, she says, "he just got up and left as if the whole thing happened in a dream."
He and Nicks did agree however to split the publishing royalties on the song 50-50. On the night of February 8, 1983, Prince came to the studio and played synthesizers on it, although his contribution is uncredited on the album. Later, when Nicks went into the studio to record the song, she called Prince and told him the story of how she wrote the song to his melody. The couple stopped and got a tape recorder and Nicks recorded the demo in the honeymoon suite that night. Nicks started humming along to the melody, especially inspired by the lush synthesizers on the song, and "Stand Back" was born. The newlyweds were driving up to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara when Prince's song " Little Red Corvette" came on the radio. She wrote it on the day of her marriage to Kim Anderson on January 29, 1983. Nicks has often told the story of how she wrote "Stand Back". A 12" promotional single was also released to United States radio stations in 1983, featuring a full-colour sleeve, but playing the standard album version (in mono and stereo) on both sides.
In the United Kingdom, the single was Nicks' first 12" release, featuring a different glossy picture sleeve and the inclusion of a third track, "Wild Heart". "Stand Back" has been a staple in Nicks' live shows since its pre-album debut at the 1983 US Festival, and it has also been included in the Fleetwood Mac tour set lists since 1987. The song was released as the lead single from the album in May 1983 and reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Top Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in August of that year. " Stand Back" is a song by American singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks from her second solo studio album The Wild Heart (1983). For other uses, see Stand Back (disambiguation).
