The most common "Extended Mix" associated with this title belongs to the track from Zapp’s fourth album, The New Zapp IV U . This version is a cornerstone of the electro-funk and "slow jam" genres.

Produced by Roger Troutman, the track is famous for its heavy use of the talkbox (often confused with a vocoder) to create "robotic" yet soulful vocals. The extended version highlights intricate synth leads and Minimoog basslines .

It is a frequent sample in hip-hop, most notably forming the basis for Tupac Shakur’s "California Love".

Four years before Zapp, the German electronic pioneers released their own "Computer Love" (Computerliebe) on the album Computer World .
