“Nothing Matters“ was The Last Dinner Party’s debut single, released on April 19, 2023. It is a celebratory, devoted, upbeat love song with explicit sexual themes and rich imagery, capturing the spirit of the band and their debut album. Before its release, “Nothing Matters” was part of the band’s standard live set.
The song was originally a slow ballad that Abigail Morris wrote about her then-boyfriend, and she mentioned in a Billboard interview that she “very rarely wrote love songs” but that “Nothing Matters” was an exception. With the band, the song was transformed into the maximalist piece that is is now; bassist Georgia Davies said in the same interview that “it was really a song that became itself once it was in the hands of the band,” and changed drastically from its original form before it was played live or released.
The song achieved trending status on Tiktok and Instagram Reels, introducing a new audience to the band, and had over 25 million cumulative streams on Spotify the week of Prelude to Ecstasy’s release.
The music video, directed by Saorla Houston and the band, includes both funereal and celebratory imagery and pays homage to Sofia Coppola’s 1999 film The Virgin Suicides.
““Nothing Matters” is the truest love song I could have written at the time. I wanted to capture that sense of unbridled, untamed love that’s also a little perverse. I set out to write the best love song I could, and this is what we ended up with.“ – via DORK
