"It Doesn't Matter" is the first single released from Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean's second studio album, The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book (2000). Written by Jean and Jerry Duplessis, the track features additional vocals from Melky Sedeck and wrestler The Rock, whose famous catchphrase inspired the song title. The song includes samples of "Mona Lisa" by Slick Rick, "This Is Ska" by Longsy D, "Livin' la Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin, and "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver, so all songwriters are given credits.

Upon its release on 26 June 2000, the song reached number 80 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In September 2000, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number three and spent 11 weeks in the top 100. "It Doesn't Matter" was also released in French under the title "Ça ne me fait rien" for Quebec and French radio stations, with Jacky and Ben-J providing additional vocals. Some lyrics were changed for this version.
