Nothing Compares 2 U

Updated: 12/11/2025, 10:17:23 AM Wikipedia source

"Nothing Compares 2 U" is a 1990 song by Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O'Connor from her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990). Written by American musician Prince and co-produced by O'Connor and Nellee Hooper, "Nothing Compares 2 U" is a pop song with lyrics expressing an abandoned lover's feelings of longing. Prince originally conceived "Nothing Compares 2 U" for his band the Family, and the first version was recorded in 1984 for their self-titled debut album (1985). O' Connor's rendition was released as a single in early 1990 by Chrysalis Records and became a worldwide hit. Its accompanying music video, directed by John Maybury, received heavy rotation on MTV. In December 1990, Billboard magazine named "Nothing Compares 2 U" the "#1 World Single" of 1990 at its first Billboard Music Awards. It was the second-best-selling single of 1990 in the UK and the third-best-selling song for 1990 in the US. In 1993, Prince released a live version of "Nothing Compares 2 U", with Rosie Gaines on guest vocals, on his compilation album The Hits/The B-Sides. His 1984 demo was released as a single in 2018 and included on the 2019 compilation Originals.
