1. About the song
Hua Chenyu was shortlisted because of this song for the 9th City Extreme Music Chart Audience Favorite Male Singer of the Year Award in 2016. Hua created this song on the piano one day. In order to make the song more explosive and could be sung with the audience, he invited his friend Zuo Li to try out various a guitar riffs, to complete the creation of the song.
Hua composed this song for live performance, hoping to sing it with the audience, so he often performs it at music festivals and other events. This song, along with several other rock songs, was dubbed the “commercial performance package” by fans.
In 2015, the song was selected as the advertising jingle for Ballantine’s, a Scottish whiskey brand.
Then, on May 30, while recording a remixed version (Real-Me version), in order to highlight the spirit of the song, Hua specially invited a hundred fans to join him in recording the chorus part.
On February 23, 2018, Hua Chenyu sang this masterpiece on EP7 of “Singer 2018”. Although the performance stage was small, Hua’s musical appeal gradually turned it into a rock venue.
On September 25, 2022, at the online concert “Mars Chapter” to celebrate the ninth anniversary of his debut, Hua Chenyu collaborated with the symphony orchestra and choir to rearrange 11 songs. This song was used as a bonus track and became his first attempt at a cappella.

| 我管你 | I Don’t Care |
|---|---|

| 我不太能够 | I can’t quite conform |
| 顺应所谓的大潮流 | To the so-called “mainstream” |
| OOOOOOOO | |
| OOOOOOOO | |
| 花臂或刺头 | Tattooed arms or spiked-up hair |
| 应该没说明我所有 | Don’t tell you all that I am |
| 我不找借口 | I don’t seek excuses |
| 懂的人自然能看透 | Those who understand will understand |
| OOOOOOOO | |
| OOOOOOOO | |
| 没想辩解太多 | Don’t want to explain much |
| 别用外表解说我 | Don’t judge me by how I look |
| 误解不愿反驳 | Don’t want to explain the misunderstandings |
| 我拒绝只谈如果 | I refuse to talk about “what-ifs” |
| 我管你的感受 | I Don’t Care how you feel |
