Sweet Nothin's is a 1959 song by Brenda Lee written by Ronnie Self. It peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Hot R&B Sides chart, in 1960. The song (as Sweet Nuthin's) also charted on the UK Singles Chart in 1960, peaking at No. 4, marking Lee's first appearance on the UK chart. Musician and producer David Z adapted Lee's vocals from the song to produce the distinctive backing vocals in "Kiss", the smash hit for Prince. Lee's voice from "Sweet Nothin's" was later sampled in Kanye West's song "Bound 2" on his 2013 album Yeezus. This sample in turn was used by Sigma in their 2014 song "Nobody to Love."
