Pitchfork is proud to announce “The Song I Wish I Wrote,” a new video series in which artists discuss exactly that: songs by other artists, contemporary or historical, that they wish they could claim as their own. First up is Carly Rae Jepsen, who sat down to talk about Sinéad O’Connor’s classic “Nothing Compares 2 U,” written by Prince.

“Anytime I was alone, walking the beach or in the back hills of the forest, where I grew up, I was always singing those melodies, because they’re perfect,” she said. “To me, it’s the all-time best power ballad out there.” Watch below and scroll down for a preview of upcoming “The Song I Wish I Wrote” episodes, featuring Weyes Blood, Stephen Malkmus, Holly Herndon, and Neneh Cherry.

Last week, Carly Rae Jepsen released her latest studio album, Dedicated. Read Pitchfork’s feature “Carly Rae Jepsen on the Music That Made Her.

Next month, the Prince Estate (in partnership with Warner Bros. Records and TIDAL) will release Originals, a new album collecting Prince’s demos of tracks he ended up giving to other artists. The project features Prince’s 1984 recording of “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
