I don't really care (echo)
I don't really care (echo)
[verse 1]
Say say
A friends don't like u
Cause theyre talkin bout u
Cause theyre tellin me im doin wrong
Say
Let them say what they wanna say
Mad cause theyre lonely
And I think its still goin strong
[chorus]
I don't really care
Let em hate u
I don't really care
As long as my baby
Standin right here
Right beside me
Make em do whatever they wanna do
I don't really care
It don't phase me
I don't really care
I got my baby
I don't really care
Let em hate u
Make em do whatever they wanna
Whatever they wanna do
Noooo oh oh Ohhhh x3
[verse 2]
Say
They're tryna tell me
What they think I should do
Treatin me like I aint got my own damn mind
(u got ur own damn mind)
Say
Cause im a grown ass woman
And that's what they don't understand
But if they don't got better way to spin that time
Fine
(chorus)
[break]
There aint a damn thing they can do to me
Baby as long as is u n me
Hey if u want
Let em hate if they want
Baby as long as u believe in me
,
Hey if u want
Hate if u want

I Don't Really Care
Brandy's 'I Don't Really Care' stands as a defining track from her early solo career, capturing the raw vulnerability and R&B sensibilities that characterized her debut era. Released alongside her breakthrough album, the song showcases her signature vocal style, blending soulful delivery with a contemporary hip-hop influenced beat that became a staple of late 1990s and early 2000s pop-R&B. The recording reflects the genre's evolution during that period, prioritizing emotional authenticity over polished production. As a key component of her discography, the track remains a testament to her ability to convey complex feelings of apathy and longing, cementing her status as a leading voice in the genre's history.
