Hello Hive Open Mic community, it’s @wealthwess here, and I’m excited to be back with you for week 281. This week’s theme is Vacation, chosen by our recent spotlight artist. For this, I’ve decided to cover the upbeat and carefree duet I Don’t Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.
This song is the perfect vibe for the Vacation theme. Its lyrics capture that laid-back, don’t worry be happy mindset of being at a party or in this case, a vacation where you just let go of stress and live in the moment. The way Ed and Justin’s voices bounce off each other feels like a carefree road trip with friends, soaking up the sun and good times. To me, this song is like a snapshot of a perfect getaway, where nothing matters but the joy of the present.
I Don’t Care shines with its infectious energy and relatable message of brushing off the chaos and embracing the fun, much like a vacation where you leave your worries behind. It’s a track that radiates freedom and good vibes, and I hope my cover brings out that same sunny, relaxed spirit!
I Don’t Care / Lyrics
[Ed Sheeran:] I'm at a party I don't wanna be at And I don't ever wear a suit and tie, yeah Wonderin' if I could sneak out the back Nobody's even lookin' me in my eyes Can you take my hand? Finish my drink, say, "Shall we dance?" (Hell, yeah) You know I love ya, did I ever tell ya? You make it better like that
Don't think I fit in at this party Everyone's got so much to say (Yeah) I always feel like I'm nobody, mmm Who wants to fit in anyway?
'Cause I don't care when I'm with my baby, yeah All the bad things disappear And you're making me feel like maybe I am somebody I can deal with the bad nights When I'm with my baby, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooh 'Cause I don't care as long as you just hold me near You can take me anywhere And you're making me feel like I'm loved by somebody I can deal with the bad nights When I'm with my baby, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooh
[Justin Bieber:] We at a party we don't wanna be at Tryna talk, but we can't hear ourselves Press your lips, I'd rather kiss 'em right back With all these people all around I'm crippled with anxiety But I'm told it's where I'm supposed to be You know what? It's kinda crazy 'cause I really don't mind When you make it better like that
Don't think we fit in at this party Everyone's got so much to say, oh yeah, yeah When we walked in, I said I'm sorry, mmm But now I think that we should stay
