“Sweetest Thing” by U2 (1987)
Did you ever write a song for your spouse to apologize and for it to become a tribute? Well, Bono did just the thing! Penning “Sweetest Thing” was his way of asking for forgiveness from Ali Hewson, his wife, since he felt he wasn’t paying her enough attention. He wasn’t with her on her birthday because he was working long hours on U2’s studio album, The Joshua Tree. In addition, U2 donated the profits the single earned to the charity Ali chose – Chernobyl Children’s Project International. Now that is what you call love, guys.
