Which Metallica song on The Black Album features an orchestra added during production?

Nothing Else Matters is the Metallica song on The Black Album that features an orchestra added during production. Producer Bob Rock encouraged the orchestral arrangement to expand the song's emotional scale.

James Hetfield wrote the song while on tour, initially treating it as a private piece rather than a typical Metallica track. Its lyrics and clean guitar opening made it notably different from the band's earlier thrash-oriented material.

The finished recording became one of the album's best-known songs and a major crossover hit. It is often called a power ballad, although Metallica's restrained verses, orchestral textures, and heavy climactic sections give it a broader arrangement than a simple acoustic ballad.
