"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the B-side of the lead single from his 1974 album Dark Horse. The A-side was "Dark Horse" in the majority of countries internationally and "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" elsewhere, including the United Kingdom. It is one of Harrison's relatively rare compositions in the country music genre and, equally unusual among his 1970s releases, the recording is a solo performance.
Harrison wrote "I Don't Care Anymore" during a period of personal upheaval and extramarital affairs, coinciding with the end of his marriage to Pattie Boyd. The song is a love song, in which he express his desire for a woman who appears to be married. Harrison recorded the track in Los Angeles in October 1974, in a single take. His hoarse vocals reflect the onset of laryngitis as he rushed to complete Dark Horse while rehearsing for his North American tour with Ravi Shankar. Several commentators hold the song in low regard, finding the literal message in the title mirrored in Harrison's casual performance.
Along with "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell", "I Don't Care Anymore" was one of three non-album B-sides issued by the artist during the 1970s. Having been unavailable officially for 40 years after its initial release, the song was included as a bonus track on the 2014 Apple Years 1968–75 reissue of Dark Horse.
