U2

In the live recording of "Ordinary Love" on *The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon*, U2 was promoting their 2013 album *Songs of Innocence*. This album marked a significant point in their career as it explored the band's early influences and experiences in Dublin, revealing personal stories that shaped their music. The performance aired in 2013, around the same time the album was released, highlighting U2's return to the music scene after a five-year hiatus since their previous studio album, *No Line on the Horizon*. An interesting aspect of their appearance on the show is the song "Ordinary Love," which was specifically written for the soundtrack of the film *Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom*. The performance underscored U2's commitment to social causes, as proceeds from their single "Invisible," promoted during this period, were directed to fight AIDS, showcasing their ongoing activism and influence beyond music.
