Well, have you ever felt that no body understands what you're doing and you just like "I don't careee!" This is a playlist containing some songs that maybe reflect you own feeling right now. This is just my personal playlist, so don't complaint if I didn't include the song that maybe you know (it's impossible I know every songs, right?). There are "I don't care! Back off!" songs, controversial, and motivational ones. Feel free to add the songs that you know on the comment. Voilà, just enjoy I-won't-hear-you anthems.
I don't CAREEEEEEEEEEE what you think
as long as it's about MEEEE!
1. "I Don't Care" by Fall Out Boy
The first time I heard this song was when I was in high school and I immediately felt this was my favorite one. The lyrics contain statements that encourage us to be self-independent of what people think about us as long as we're happy and comfortable about ourselves. I personally use this song and scream it out loud when I feel completely blue about the offence shot by people surrounding me. Lock the door, say "I don't caaaaaare about what you think as long as it's about me!"
"I Don't Care" is lead single from Folie à Deux by Fall Out Boy in 2008. This song enjoyed a moderate success in US and Australia. I love the pop-punk, make me really feel like a dissident whenever I sing it. If you're under seventeen, I don't really suggest you to watch the official music video hahahaha.
They tried to make me go to rehab
but I said, 'NO, NO, NO.'
2. "Rehab" - Amy Winehouse
"Rehab" is a signature song of the late Amy Winehouse. Well, this song is incredible and rich of soul wave. Winning three Grammy Awards in 2008 (nominated for two more). However, I remember Amy couldn't go to the ceremony and receive the awards personally because of no permission from UK government.
"Rehab" tells the refusal by Amy to go the rehab although she was insisted going by everybody. At that time, Amy was labeled as troubled singer with many controversies following her. The message I want you to instill that it's okay to compromise yourself and follow the advise from somebody that loves and cares about you (highlight: LOVES and CARES).
If you wanna just scream, SCREAM YOUR LUNGS OUT
If you wanna just cry, CRY YOUR EYES OUT
(I'm not doing that)
3. "Mannequin" by Britney Spears
Exactly, Britney Spears has some songs that can be concluded in this list and I am going to tell the others afterward. Personally, I like the concept of this song. It's like you can do whatever you want (dressing me, crying, and screaming) and I won't change (my face is like a mannequin).
"Mannequin" was included in Britney's album, Circus (2008). This album was considered as a true comeback of Britney. "Mannequin" maybe is not as strong and addicting to hear like the songs decided as singles from Circus, but I think it's still pleasing to hear.
Love me hate me
SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME
But all of the boys and all of the girls are
begging to If U Seek Amy
4. "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears
I assume that you know this is a controversial song. Still, I would tell you the reasons.
First, its popular phonetically spelling is like "F*CK ME" (If = F You = U SEE = C K AMY = K ME). So, can you image that the song sounds like "Love me hate me/Say what you want about me/But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to...."
Second, Amy. In 2007-2008 before Circus was released, Britney encountered a mental breakdown (a really serious one), made many controversial deeds, and stirred media into a magic havoc. The publication of Britney was as strong as publication of Amy Winehouse in UK. Some perceived that "If U Seek Amy" was declaration of Britney's dislike of people's assumption that she would encounter the same fate to Amy Winehouse. However, some argued that Amy was an alter ego of Britney. Well, it stays a mystery.
The song itself is like a b*tchy way to say "Back off!"
I'm Mrs. "Oh my God that Britney's shameless!"
(You want a piece of me)
...
I'm Mrs. "She's too big now she's too thin."
(You want a piece of me)
5. "Piece of Me" by Britney Spears
This song was like a story of Spears' life. The message is no matter how good you are, there will be always people badmouthing you (Guess I can't see the harm in working and being a mama/And with a kid on my arm I'm still an exceptional earner).
They can say anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try how to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams
6. "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" by Mariah Carey
Well, I don't know why Carey had to put "(Mariah's Theme)" on the official title. Okay, let's not discuss about it. This is the song that I fully RECOMMEND to you when you encounter a hard criticism and feel deeply blue. This beautiful song was written by Mariah Carey herself and Dianne Warren (shockingly, Warren wanted to share the songwriting with anybody else). Dianne Warren is a songwriter of many successful and award-winning hits, such as "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith, "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes, "Because You Loved Me" by Céline Dion, and so oooon.
The lyrics are so beautiful and encouraging to pursue our dreams, no matter what others say. Of course, it contains spiritual message within (I think it's Mariah's character to put a hope for God's help in her motivational songs). I insist to watch the lyrics video below.
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
7. "Hero" by Mariah Carey
Description? No need!
Miss 'No way, it's all good!'
It didn't slow me down.
8. "Funckin' Perfect" by Pink (stylized as P!nk)
"Fuckin' Perfect" or "Fucking Perfect" or "F**kin' Perfect" or "F#@%ing Perfect" or "Perfect" is quite empowering song to clear a "you-have-to-do-this-and-that-to-be-good" label by everyone. Stop poisoning ourselves with the dogma of dying our own personalities to be accepted by society.
I'm critized but all your bullets ricochet.
9. "Titanium" - David Guetta featuring Sia
This song is one of the most successful songs by David Guetta and Sia without any significant promotions. The unique voice of Sia molded well in this song. Originally, "Titanium" was intended to be sung by Mary J. Blige (Blige's version was recorded too), but Guetta felt that Sia (the songwriter) was the key of this song.
I heard "Titanium" before it was decided to be a single when I heard the Guetta's complete album, Nothing but the Beat. I love this song immediately because of its strong composition and electronic tunes that were melted so well.
The song itself describes the refusal of being controlled by cruel criticism. We're as powerful as titanium, so let's not let anybody shoot you down and fall for being someone that is not you. You shoot me down but I won't fall/I am titanium.
Bonus:
Yess, dear, it's "Titanium."
Enjoy the playlist!
