"I Don't Care" is a song by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin from his tenth album, "Life". In 2005 (see 2005 in music), Martin released the song as a digital download. The song had marginal success on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, peaking at number sixty-five, but was well received on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, reaching number three.

The original English version of the song features rapper Fat Joe and R&B singer Amerie, while its Spanish version, "Que Más Dá", replaces Amerie's vocals with Debi Nova's.

Martin performed "I Don't Care" at the 2006 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony.

As earlier mentioned, the song was extremely successful on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts, peaking at #3. Other notable mentions include its peak of 49 on the Pop 100 chart and 7 on the Hot Latin Tracks chart.

Video

The music video for Martin's single, "I Don't Care/Que Más Dá" was filmed in Brooklyn, New York. The video also features Amerie and Fat Joe. This is the first video from the album "Life".
