Money Don’t Matter 2 Night was the fifth and last commercial single from Prince’s Diamonds And Pearls album (the first credited to Prince and The New Power Generation). Released five months after the parent album, it arrived worldwide with the previously unreleased B-side Call The Law (later re-edited for Gold Nigga) and the album track Push on 12" and CD formats. It marked the end of the commercial tie-in with the Diamonds And Pearls campaign and became the first Prince album since Purple Rain to spawn four top 30 US singles.
