Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore

About "I Don't Care Anymore"

"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song written, performed, and produced by English drummer Phil Collins (with co-production by Hugh Padgham). It was the second US single from Collins' second solo album, Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982). It became a moderate US hit, peaking inside the Top 40 (#39), on the Hot 100. It did not see a UK release; however, it was released as the third single in various other countries such as Germany and Australia.

This song is considered 'dark' in tone, and is comparable to Collins' earlier hit single "In the Air Tonight", as both contain powerful drum kit along with simplistic synthesizers and guitar riffs, coupled with angry lyrics directed at Collins' failed first marriage. The drums also illustrate the gated reverb recording technique that defined Collins' sound throughout the 1980s. During "I Don't Care Anymore", the drum track switches several times between "standard" studio sound and a gated reverb overlay.

Cashbox noted that with the song's "sparse synthesizer and guitar arrangements" the drumming provides most of the emotional expression. Billboard said that "Collins combines R&B inclinations with his Genesis for a moody, brooding cry of rebellion."The song earned Collins his first Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1984, which was won by Michael Jackson for "Beat It".
