"Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)" is the first single released from The Jacksons' album 2300 Jackson Street. The song was co-written by L. A. Reid and Babyface. "Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)" is considered one of The Jacksons' last successful singles before the group's breakup, peaking at #4 on the US Billboard R&B Singles chart. It became the group's last Top 40 hit in Britain, peaking at #33 on the UK Charts. This would be their only hit song to date, without Michael Jackson. A music video was produced to promote the single.
