SINGAPOREAN singer-songwriters Regina Song and Hongjoin have joined forces to release their new playful and youthful duet I Don’t Rly Care Bout You!.
An explosive old-school pop-rock song that is straight out of a teenage romcom, I Don’t Rly Care Bout You! is the first collaborative track after Song’s debut album Fangirl and Hongjoin’s sophomore album Komorebi.
Following their respective releases, the Singaporean duo met up earlier this year in Boston, US, where Hongjoin is based at, to produce I Don’t Rly Care Bout You!.
The duet expresses the feelings of frustrations and misunderstandings that come about in youthful love, driven by sentiments of Song’s first love experience with a nonchalant guy who broke her heart. After confiding in Hongjoin over this story, the roots of I Don’t Rly Care Bout You! were sowed.
I Don’t Rly Care Bout You! was mixed and produced by Hongjoin and co-produced by Doug Suh, which led to the song being energetic, punchy and full of life. The song also received a full band arrangement that gets listeners jumping on their feet and dancing their frustrations away.
Song, 20 and Hongjoin, 22, hope their fans who might be going through a period of unreciprocated love can feel the catharsis from this song and forget about their worries.
The song is accompanied by a music video released on Youtube, filmed and edited by Anthony Li from NYTE Works, as well as a live one-take performance video filmed by Li and mixed by Hongjoin.
