Music History: "Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song famously performed by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor and released in 1990. However, the song was actually written and composed by Prince for one of his side projects, a band called The Family. The band included it on their 1985 album, but it did not gain much attention in its original form.
Sinéad O'Connor's version was featured on her second studio album, "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got." Her rendition of the song became a massive international hit and is considered her signature song. O'Connor's powerful and emotional performance, paired with a striking music video directed by John Maybury, helped the song reach number one in multiple countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.
The music video is particularly notable for its close-up shots of O'Connor's face, capturing her emotional delivery and even tears, which added to the song's impact. This visual and vocal expression resonated deeply with audiences around the world, enhancing the song's themes of heartache and longing after a breakup.
