I Don't Care

"I Don't Care" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released on May 10, 2019, through Asylum, Atlantic Records and Def Jam Recordings as the lead single from the former's compilation album, No.6 Collaborations Project (2019). Sheeran previewed the song on his Instagram on May 5, 2019, and Bieber shared another part of the song the following day, before both artists announced the full title and release date on May 7. The dancehall-influenced song peaked at number one in 26 countries (including the UK Singles Chart). It additionally peaked at number two in seven other countries (including the US Billboard Hot 100); it was blocked from reaching the summit in all those countries by Lil Nas X's and Billy Ray Cyrus's hit "Old Town Road". "I Don't Care" was certified diamond in Brazil and France, six-times platinum in Canada, and multi-platinum in twelve additional countries. Background "I Don't Care" marks the fourth collaboration between Sheeran and Bieber; they had both contributed guest vocals on Lil Dicky's 2019 song "Earth" for Earth Day 2019, in addition to co-writing Bieber's 2015 song "Love Yourself", and Major Lazer's 2016 song "Cold Water", which featured Bieber and Danish singer MØ. The song was produced by Max Martin, Shellback, and Fred Gibson. It was Sheeran's first release of new music in two years, since his Grammy-winning album ÷ in March 2017.
