Which Metallica song became the album's third single after “Enter Sandman” and “The Unforgiven”?

“Nothing Else Matters” became the third single from Metallica's The Black Album.

The power ballad was released on April 20, 1992, following “Enter Sandman” and “The Unforgiven.” It became one of Metallica's best-known songs and reached number six on the UK Singles Chart.

James Hetfield wrote the lyrics and shared the composition credit with Lars Ulrich. The song is notable within Metallica's catalog because Hetfield plays the guitar solo on the studio recording, while Kirk Hammett does not play on that recording.

Its orchestral arrangement was written by composer Michael Kamen. The song's softer opening and emotional subject matter broadened the album's appeal, while its placement as the third single helped demonstrate that Metallica's breakthrough was not limited to aggressive heavy-metal tracks.
