Here, The Weeknd is pining over his former lover. Abel misses her to the extent that he feels "asphyxiated," so he returns to his old drug-taking habits. Without my baby So I fill the void just like I'd do back then Added to the singer's heartbreak is the fact that it was him who ended the relationship. Even when it's great, I still walk away I couldn't even change for you It's only now he realizes that nothing compares to her. Many believe the girl The Weeknd is addressing is model Bella Hadid, whom he dated on and off between 2015 and 2019.
"Nothing Compares" is a bonus track on the deluxe version of After Hours.
The Weeknd wrote the song with his frequent collaborators Belly and DaHeala, plus producer Ricky Reed (Halsey's "Bad at Love," Lizzo's "Truth Hurts").
