"I Don't Care" comes off Worlds Collide, the 2007 album that was Finnish band Apocalyptica's sixth, and the voice up front belongs to Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier. Howard Benson produced this slab of alternative metal, and it exists in two takes: the first went out in Europe in 2007, then Gontier asked to cut it again for the album's American and Canadian release in 2008, with a radio edit that scrubbed the saltier words, back half of the chorus included.
Max Martin wrote most of the lyric, with Eicca Toppinen and Gontier also credited, and Toppinen has said it spins a fantasy rather than pointing at anyone real. Issued as the album's third and last single in 2008, it topped Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart for a week, peaked at number two on Alternative Songs and hung around that chart's top 20 for a full year.
