U2's exclusive Oscar show performance will be the first time the band will perform the song live. The Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, will air on Sunday, March 2.
'Ordinary Love' was written by the group for 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' and is nominated for Original Song. The three other nominated songs are 'Happy' from 'Despicable Me 2', 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen' and 'The Moon Song' from 'Her'.
