"I Don't Give A" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Madonna for her twelfth studio album ''MDNA'' (2012). The song features rap vocals by Trinidadian recording artist Nicki Minaj. It was written and produced by Madonna and Martin Solveig, with additional songwriting by Minaj and Julien Jabre. "I Don't Give A" is a pop song, with electronic and hip hop syncopated beats. Lyrically, the song is about a day in Madonna's life with some portions of it directed at her ex-husband, film director Guy Ritchie, when she sings about a failed marriage. The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics who praised Minaj's appearance and its personal lyrics. Following the release of ''MDNA'', the song peaked at number 117 in the Gaon Chart of South Korea. Madonna performed the song on The MDNA Tour as the closing track of the show's first segment. == Background and production == Madonna's manager Guy Oseary had contacted Martin Solveig wanting to know if he would be available to work with the singer, to which he responded affirmative.〔 In July 2011, the singer invited Solveig for a writing session in London for her twelfth studio album, ''MDNA''. This session produced three songs, including "I Don't Give A", "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and "Turn Up the Radio", the last two later becoming official singles off the album. According to the producer, few days after he had finished the composition, Madonna completed writing the lyrics of "I Don't Give A" . Solveig understood that the lyrics were probable references towards Madonna's life and thus received coverage in the press. However, he was not aware of the inner meaning behind the lyrics. With ''Billboard'' magazine, the producer further explained:
In an interview with Channel V Australia, he recalled that the two of them were able to communicate their thoughts about the tracks they developed, "on an organisational level", thus accelerating the process.〔 Madonna was completely involved in the recording which was a surprise for Solveig, since he had expected the singer not to stay more than an hour or two in the recording studio and then leave. Madonna expressed her thoughts about the composition, including the instrumentation to be used as Solveig added, "at some point she wanted to choose the sound of a snare drum or a synth and that kind of stuff. She was really in the session!" Madonna reciprocated the feelings saying that she liked Solveig's way of working: "He's very organised and methodical in his thinking so I like his work process". The singer also stated that she was able to disapprove something which she did not like without hurting his feelings. Regarding having Minaj feature as a guest vocalist, Madonna explained that she wanted to collaborate with female singers she believed had a "strong sense of themselves". They were shy of each other in the beginning but were able to pass that and dedicate to the tracks. Solveig described Minaj as a "pro" and recalled that she spent some time with the songs and wrote her rapping verse and recorded it within a short span of time.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Don't Give A」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
