Prince's Writing This Song
Did Prince write this song for Sinead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BDCA:ACE0:B495:E70D:E7D6:1B0 (talk) 00:20, 23 August 2015 (UTC)


 * No: In 1985, The Family released their first and only album, the self-titled The Family. "Nothing Compares 2 U" appeared on the album but it was not released as a single, and received little recognition. --Toni am See (talk) 06:10, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Infobox
If this song was originally released by The Family, then how come the lead infobox is for Sinead O'Connor's version? Asking because on other songs better known for their covers, the covers are included as a subsection rather than the lead. (I'm new here so I might not know how this all works) ForeverStamp (talk) 03:22, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Key The Song Is In
Is there a particular reason that the key of the song is included for O'Connor's version? If so, then shouldn't the key of the original version be included as well? If there's no particular reason that this info is included, I suggest it be removed. Nycjtw (talk) 01:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
