"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.
