"Don't Worry 'bout Me Baby" is a song made famous by country music singer Janie Fricke. The song was released in 1982 and became her first solo Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart that summer.

Fricke had actually sang on several other No. 1 songs in the past, often as an uncredited background vocalist (for example, "Thinking of a Rendezvous" by Johnny Duncan). In addition, she had dueted with Charlie Rich on their 1978 No. 1 song, "On My Knees." However, this was Fricke's first No. 1 song to feature her solo talents.
