Songfacts®:

• "Nothing Compares To You" is a lush ballad where Mickey Guyton joins forces with her friend and fellow country star Kane Brown. It's a completely different song to Sinead O'Connor's 1990 hit of the same title.
• Guyton takes center stage in the opening verse, her vocals painting a vivid tale of independence and solitude. She reminisces about a time she stood strong, never needing anyone until she met a captivating love. When Brown takes the mic, he spins his own story of contentment until love came knocking, forever changing his world.
  
  In the chorus, their voices harmonize in a symphony of emotions as Guyton and Brown proclaim, "nothing compares to you."
• Neither Guyton nor Brown wrote the song. Jordan Schmidt and the track's producers Tyler Hubbard and Bebe Rexha penned it. Bebe Rexha and Tyler Hubbard previously collaborated on "Meant to Be," which was released by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line in 2017. The song was a mega hit, spending a record 50 weeks atop the country chart.
• Mickey Guyton first met lawyer Grant Savoy in 2010 after being introduced by Guyton's manager, who was also Savoy's friend. The couple began dating in 2012 and married in June 2017 in Kauai, Hawaii. In February 2021, Guyton gave birth to a son named Grayson.
  
  The message at the heart of the sweet and grounded love song makes Guyton think of her own marriage. She told Apple Music the song "definitely reminds me of the beginning of our relationship, and it's definitely reminding me of us now in our relationship."
  
  "We had some really hard years in our relationship, about the second to the seventh year of our relationship… We almost did not make it," she added. "And now that I fought through that, and now that we have this beautiful son, just the love that I have for this man - it's unconditional."
• Mickey Guyton and Kane Brown play a flirty duo in the song's music video. The pair work backstage at a bar, and when the night's headlining entertainment cancels unexpectedly they take matters into their own hands and do the show themselves.
