“Money Don’t Matter 2 Night” is a song by Prince and the New Power Generation from 1991’s Diamonds and Pearls. The lyrics deal directly with money, poverty, and greed. Noteworthy is Prince’s criticism of the Gulf War. The vocal delivery is similar to that of “When Doves Cry” but more subtle. Overall, the song is a smooth delivery with layered vocals by Prince. The song was co-written with Rosie Gaines and performed with the New Power Generation. The song was a modest hit, reaching #24 in the US and #19 in the UK.

The B-side is a previously unreleased track “Call the Law“, with lead vocals by Tony M. and supplemented by Rosie Gaines on the chorus. Prince provides guitar solos throughout the song. The track was added to the New Power Generation release Goldnigga in 1993. The UK 12″ single and CD release also included the album track “Push“.

The song is notable for its promotional video, directed by Spike Lee. Featuring a poverty-stricken African-American family, with no shots of Prince at all, it was considered not “MTV friendly” and overly political. A second version was issued, which this time included some footage of the song being performed by Prince & the New Power Generation.
