"I Don't Care Anymore" is a song by Phil Collins from his second solo album "Hello, I Must Be Going". The song is very dark, which follows a vast majority of songs from the album. The song can be compared to his earlier hit single "In the Air Tonight", as both have very 'powerful' drums along with simple keyboard chords and guitar riffs, along with the lyrics which are directed at the anger that Collins had over his first marriage.

Trivia

*The video was the first to feature touring drummer Chester Thompson. Other videos to feature Chester included "Sussudio", "I Wish it Would Rain Down", "Hang in Long Enough" and "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven".
*This song was covered by nu metal band "From Zero" in their 2003 album, "My So-Called Life (album)".
*The song was featured in an episode of the TV series Miami Vice, "No Exit". Like his earlier single In the Air Tonight, it was featured during the build-up toward the climax of the episode.
*Paul Wall samples this song in one of his songs, which has the same title. The song is the first single off of his album, Get Money, Stay True.
* On the subsequent tour for "Hello, I Must Be Going" , this was usually the opening song.

Video

In addition to Thompson, touring band members Daryl Stuermer (guitar), Peter Robinson (keyboards), and Mo Foster (bass) also appear. Aside from Stuermer, the rest of the band does not appear on the actual recording and are instead miming Phil's parts. The video is staged entirely in a dark room, with spotlights appearing over each band member as they begin to play. Foster is clearly visible in Robinson's spotlight for about a minute before he begins to play, hands in pockets, shuffling his feet occasionally, and looking more like a loiterer than a band member. When he begins to play (at the beginning of the first chorus), he plays the song's synthesized bassline on Moog Taurus bass pedals. Instead of playing them with his feet as intended by the manufacturer, he strikes them somewhat dramatically with the sides of his closed fists. He plays considerably more notes than what is actually heard, and frequently manipulates the Taurus's filter controls with one hand while striking with the other. Live concert footage from the same year shows that he did, in fact, play the Taurus with his hands (whereas future touring bassist Leland Sklar played the Taurus with his feet while simultaneously playing electric bass). He did not strike the pedals with his fist, however, instead simply depressing each pedal with the flat of his hand. He did frequently manipulate the Taurus's filters to great effect, but the bassline he performed was the simplified version heard on the recording rather than the overzealous part he mimed in the video.
