A música Nothing Compares 2 U foi escrita e composta por Prince. Ficou mundialmente famosa na voz de Sinéad OConnor em 1990. A letra fala sobre a dor e a saudade que sentimos quando perdemos alguém que amamos. Prince escreveu a música pensando em uma das backing vocals de sua banda, The Family. Após a versão de OConnor alcançar sucesso global, a canção se consolidou como um dos grandes hits dos anos 90.
