“Nothing Really Matters” is a song by Madonna, released in March 1999 as the sixth and final single from her critically acclaimed album Ray of Light. The song is an upbeat, electronic-infused dance track that blends house, techno, and pop elements, showcasing Madonna’s evolution into a more experimental and introspective sound. Produced by Madonna and William Orbit, it features dreamy synthesizers, pulsating beats, and a spiritual undertone.
“Nothing Really Matters” reflects Madonna’s personal transformation, inspired by the birth of her daughter, Lourdes. The song conveys a message about letting go of materialism and ego, embracing love as the most important force in life. This theme of self-discovery and enlightenment is central to the Ray of Light album, which was influenced by Madonna’s interest in Kabbalah and Eastern philosophy.
Despite being one of the standout tracks from Ray of Light, “Nothing Really Matters” was not as commercially successful as her previous singles from the album. It peaked at No. 93 on the US Billboard Hot 100 but performed better internationally, reaching the top 10 in several countries, including No. 1 in Spain, and topping the Dance Club Songs chart in the US.
