Story of the Year slipped "We Don't Care Anymore" onto their MySpace page on July 22, 2005, and radio had it by August 16, the first taste of their second album, In the Wake of Determination. It was one of the last songs finished for the record, and it came out in a rush: guitarist Ryan Phillips has said he got worked up one night, fired up Pro Tools and had the whole thing tracked by 6 am.
Dan Marsala, who wrote the words with bassist Adam Russell, pitched it as a song about living for yourself instead of for anybody's approval, and the band plays it like a shove to the chest, Phillips and Phil Sneed's guitars grinding against Josh Wills's drums. Steve Evetts produced it alongside the band, recorded it and mixed it, and Kevin Kerslake shot the video on a Los Angeles soundstage.
