Nothing Compares 2 U fue escrita y compuesta por Prince. Se hizo mundialmente famosa en la voz de Sinéad OConnor en 1990. La letra habla del dolor y la nostalgia que sentimos al perder a alguien que amamos. Prince escribió la canción pensando en una de las coristas de su banda, The Family. Después del éxito global de la versión de OConnor, la canción se consolidó como uno de los grandes éxitos de los años 90.
