On April 19, 2018, the previously unreleased original recording of "Nothing Compares 2 U" from 1984 was released as a single by Warner Bros. Records in conjunction with Prince's estate. In addition, the Prince version was given its own music video, released in conjunction with the single; the video consists of edited rehearsal footage for the "Purple Rain" tour, shot in the summer of 1984. Troy Carter, adviser for Prince's estate, later announced in an interview with "Variety" that a full-length album was planned for release on September 28.
