"IDGAF" (an acronym for "I don't give a fuck") is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). The song was written by Lipa, MNEK, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet, and Whiskey Water, with Koz handling the production. It was released for digital download and streaming on 12 January 2018 as the eighth and final single from the album. A pop song, Lipa uses a deadpan vocal delivery, backed by an electro palm-muted electric guitar riff and a militaristic drum line. Lyrically, the song is about an ex-boyfriend who intends to get back with the singer, who is uninterested.
Several music critics complimented the strong production and post-breakup lyrics of "IDGAF". The song was viewed as a sequel to "New Rules", Lipa's previous single. It was nominated for British Single of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. Commercially, the song reached the top 10 of charts in 20 territories worldwide, including Croatia and Ireland where it reached the summit. On the UK Singles Chart the song peaked at number 3. It is certified multi-platinum in six countries. This includes a triple platinum award in the United Kingdom, double platinum awards in Italy, Norway, and the United States, a quadruple platinum award in Australia, and a six-times platinum certification in Canada.
The music video for "IDGAF" accompanied its single release and was directed by Henry Scholfield. It features two versions of Lipa, a vulnerable romantic and an empowered spirit, who perform a dance battle against one another with their respective girl groups. One group wears purple and the other wears orange. Several critics praised its self-love message and the choreography. The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards and British Video of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. Lipa promoted the song with numerous live performances, including ones on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , Jimmy Kimmel Live! , and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert . Remixes by Anna of the North, Young Franco, and featuring Saweetie were released for further promotion.
"IDGAF" was written by Dua Lipa alongside MNEK, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet and Whiskey Water, with production from Koz. [1] The song was originally written by MNEK and was later picked up by Lipa who made adjustments with him in the studio; she did this to make the lyrics more relevant to her. [2] The rewrites took place in Los Angeles in February 2017. [3] The song was one of the last songs recorded for Lipa's eponymous debut studio album (2017). [4] Lipa was inspired after an ex-boyfriend who was really mean to her, messaged her saying "Hi" and expressing his enjoyment of her music, which made her think, "What gives him the right to call me now and see how I'm doing? Does he not realize the damage he's done?" Lipa stated that parts of the song are true and parts are false. [5] [6] The song was recorded at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and the vocal recording and engineering took place at Sarm Music Village in London. Mixing was done by Josh Gudwin and mastering was handled by John Davis at Metropolis Studios in London. [1]
Musically, "IDGAF" is a pop song, running for 3 minutes and 36 seconds. [7] [8] [9] The song is composed 4

[10] The track is backed by an electro palm-muted electric guitar riff, [8] [11] a militaristic drum line, [12] [13] a piano and a multi-tracked chorus. [14] Lipa uses a deadpan vocal delivery, ranging two octaves from D3 to D5. [7] [10] Lyrically in "IDGAF", the female protagonist's former lover comes back and attempts to rekindle things with her, but she sends him on his way and makes sure he knows that she is not thinking about him. The song was viewed as a sequel to "New Rules", another song by Lipa. [15] [16]
"IDGAF" was released through Warner Bros. Records on 2 June 2017 as the fifth track on Lipa's eponymous debut studio album. [9] In November of that year, Lipa confirmed that it would serve as a single, to be released in 2018 due to the rising success of "New Rules". [17] On 8 January 2018, she announced its official single release and revealed the cover art.

[28] [29] [30] A live version of the song is included on Lipa's Deezer Sessions EP as the third track, released on 11 April 2019. [31]
Jamie Milton of NME labelled the song a "post-breakup punch," while Dork 's Jamie Muir stated that it "[drops] the bubblegum sharpness." [32] [33] For Clash , Alex Green categorized the drums as "crisp" and the lyrics "cutting," while calling it "likely the best track off the album." [12] In AllMusic, Neil Z. Yeung called the song "cheeky" and compared it to the works of Ed Sheeran. He concluded by stating it is a "perfect anthem for anyone who has ever been burned by love." [34] Sean Ward from The 405 , praised the song for being a "stadium stomper" and predicted it to be a "dormant hit," while also viewing it as "a bright indicator to the longevity of [Lipa's] chart domination." He concluded by labelling the chorus "gigantic," the hook "memorable," and praising those aspects for being "radio A-list whilst retaining a subtle cool." [35]
Ben Hogwood of musicOMH praised "IDGAF" for being "decisive" and Lipa's "don't mess" attitude, while commenting that it "[cuts] through the texture." [7] For the Evening Standard , Rick Pearson stated the song shows Lipa's "edgier side." [36] Max Mazonowicz of The Digital Fix called melody "terrific" and the chorus "punchy" and "not safe for work." [37] Sebas E. Alonso from Jenesaispop called the track a "hymn of self-sufficiency" and compared the guitar to "Shape of You" (2017) by Sheeran and TLC's "No Scrubs" (1999). [38] In a negative review from The Line of Best Fit , Claire Biddles thought the song felt "forced," further elaborating writing "like she's convincing herself that she doesn't care." She went on to call it a "relatable charade" that "falls a little flat," while also criticizing her lack of "carefree persona," unlike other tracks on Dua Lipa. [39] "IDGAF" was a winning song at the 2019 BMI Pop Awards [note 1] and it was nominated for British Single of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. [40] [41]

We wanted to embody the sense of empowerment in the track, whilst going beyond the literal breakup context. We had in mind a visual of the internal struggle, showing the two sides of Dua's emotive state, like an argument with someone you love. The strong Dua at first berating then eventually persuading her weaker alter ego that they both don't give a fuck.
— Scholfield on the video. [79]
The video opens by panning around a solid-coloured lapis blue room, underneath a white oval light. [80] Two versions of Lipa are seen wearing pantsuits with button down crop-tops underneath, one in purple and one in orange, with the orange having slicked-back hairdo and the blue having a tidy bun. [81] [82] They represent the vulnerable romantic and the empowered spirit stages that follow a break-up. [83] Viewers are the slowly shown Lipa's backup dancers, who, like Lipa, have alternate versions that wear orange and purple. [84] [80] The two groups (orange and purple) begin shuffling between one and the other, with the two versions of Lipa portraying an annoyed conversation. The two groups eventually take their respective colours side, with Lipa as the head. They begin to perform aggravated gestures and expressive choreography. [80]
The blue team jumps up, while the red team put their hands under their chins, pointing them at the blues. The blues walk to the corner looking backwards while Lipa looks to the camera, with the group eventually walking towards the reds and leaning over them. They all roll their shoulders before putting their hands in front of each other. The backup dancers then leave and the two Lipas are seen staring at each other while laying on the floor. When they are seen standing up again, the groups run up to each other, before each dancer takes a turn, spinning around their alter ego and going the way their alter ego came. The room turns back to a lapis blue light before the reds fall to the floor, watching the blues dance. The blue Lipa then turns towards the camera as the red one looks backwards at a closing door. The blue Lipa then kisses the red Lipa on the forehead. The doors open again and each group goes in separate lines to perform a dance, before joining as a full group to continue their dance. The visual closes with the two Lipas nodding at one other before turning to face their group. [80]
In V , Rayne H. Ellis summarized the video as "a clear tale of self-love and empowerment," while also praising its storyline. [85] Billboard editor Nicholas Rice wrote that it sees Lipa "visualizing the internal struggle one faces through her hot and cold outfit color choices and interpretive dancing." [86] Sara Cristiano of Much called the backup dancers "extremely talented" and compared their "realness" to Annie Lennox. [77] Teen Vogue 's Gabe Bergado labelled the dancers "stunning" and compared its ethos to that of "New Rules". [84] Writing for Rolling Stone, Ryan Reed viewed the video as "kinetic" and "heavily choreographed." [83]
Nora-Grayce Orosz from Complex stated that Lipa "bringing all the sass of her previous releases times two," and named the "[expert]" choreography "old-school." [87] Reviewing for Spin , Tosten Burks called the video "bold-hued." [88] Nylon 's Hafeezah Nazim complimented the "intense interpretative" choreography and regarded the video as a whole "a visual representation of Lipa's internal struggle with herself." [82] The Staff for Promotion Music News commended the video for "perfectly [encapsulating] those struggles that one faces during a breakup," and for ending on a positive note. [89] In his review for Idolator , Mike Wass called the video "emo" and "striking," while Mar Maldonado of Soundigest viewed it as "unique" and "visually appealing." [90] [91]
