“I don’t care” is an easy song to sing. It doesn’t have a huge vocal range and it’s a sweet tune to perform. However, these are the things you need to keep in mind while practicing:
Fast-Passed lyrics
Practice reading the lyrics with the rhythm first (without singing them). This will allow you to get familiar with the timing, but also will help you get fluent with the flow of words.
Consonants & Legato

Remember that the airflow will help you sing Legato and connect the syllables in a flowing manner. For more information on how to sing Legato:
