Money Don't Matter 2 Night is the tenth track on Prince's 13th album Diamonds And Pearls, the first album to be credited to Prince and the New Power Generation, and, five months after the album's release, Money Don't Matter 2 Night was released as the album's fifth single, released worldwide. In 2001, the track was included as the 17th and final track on The Very Best Of Prince. In 2006, the track was included as the 14th track on the first disc of Ultimate. In 2003, an aborted live version from 2002 was included at the start of the third track (Money Don't Matter Tonight / The Work) on the Live At The Aladdin Las Vegas DVD.

While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in late August or early September 1990 at Warner Pioneer Studio in Tokyo, Japan, while in Tokyo for two dates on the Nude Tour (during the same set of sessions as Willing And Able, Strollin', 5 Women and Something Funky (This House Comes)). The track was included as the eighth track on the December 1990, configuration of Diamonds And Pearls, but was moved to become the tenth track on the 1 March 1991 and 8 May 1991 configurations, where it remained for release.
