about
Delving into the realm of pop-punk, I DON’T CARE steers Leigh away from her soulful, melancholic roots. A make-believe land of thought for suppressed uncomfortable emotion, the lyrics explore the complexities of the modern phenomenon; FOMO. Sewn with catchy one-liners and addictive haunting melodies, I DON’T CARE showcases Marianne Leigh’s versatility as an artist, carving her unique place in the pop-rock corner of music.
In January of this year, Marianne Leigh moved across the world solo, from New Zealand to London, in pursuit of creating bigger opportunities for her music career.
“London was always a question for me, a dream that felt unattainable”, Leigh details, “I just had to explore the music world here”.
A product of international effort, Leigh architected I DON’T CARE in her hometown, Auckland, New Zealand, alongside Ryan Cruickshank.
The young artist recorded her vocals at London’s Visconti Studio, a studio built in partnership with Grammy award-winning Tony Visconti. A series of late night Zoom calls and mixes sent back and forth sculpted the final product, Emily Wheatcroft-Snape painting the finishing touches on
I DON’T CARE from New Zealand.
“The creation of I DON’T CARE was unlike anything I had done before. It was very much a 21st century experience”, the homegrown artist details.
The upcoming single holds a mirror to one’s most inner thoughts, the song at its core, buried under upbeat production, being about insecurity.
“I write from a personal place, this song in particular being a way to untangle my thoughts surrounding self-comparison and turn them into something digestible. Writing my deeply buried fears into the unapologetically fierce pop-punk genre was really important to me.”
lyrics
I've got this vision of you staying out late
She takes you back you're thinking, "it's a mistake"
If love were fair we'd all be playing the game
But that's not what we do
I'm sleeping on the other side of the bed
Don't need no friends with all these thoughts in my head
You're saying things that I would rather forget
But that's not what we do
And I can smell her still on you
But I don't care
I'm not bothered
If you want her you can have her
I don't care
And it's not fair
But I don't care
No I don't care
Remember when you couldn't handle the heat
When all you had to do was say you want me
You throw your hands away as if it's defeat
'Cause that's just what you do
But I don't care
I'm not bothered
If you want her you can have her
I don't care
And it's not fair
And I'll be fine
Go and leave me
You don't want me
You don't need me
I don't care
And it's not fair
But I don't care
No I don't care
Yeah there's these things that we don't do
And I'll be drinking her perfume
But I don't care
I'm not bothered
If you want her you can have her
I don't care
And it's not fair
And I'll be fine
Go and leave me
You don't want me
You don't need me
I don't care
And it's not fair
But I don't care
No I don't care
