"I Don't Care" is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released on 10 May 2019, through Asylum, Atlantic Records and Def Jam Recordings as the lead single from the former's compilation album, No.6 Collaborations Project (2019).[4][5] Sheeran previewed the song on his Instagram on 5 May 2019,[6] and Bieber shared another part of the song the following day,[5] before both artists announced the full title and release date on 7 May.[7][8]

The dancehall-influenced[9][10] 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.
