"How many times have you wanted to say this to someone? I know you want to!", says Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine. "Deep down inside, if we had the balls, we would tell more people, 'I don't care' more often."
As for the song, Mustaine explains:"Part of the main riff in this track had been floating around in my head since we did TSTD&TD, so I was pumped to start recording 'I Don't Care' for this LP. I really love the guitar nuances in the track. There is the main rhythm riff, next, a very deliberate down-picking part, next, the octave chords with jump picking on octave notes (while still down-picking!). And the soloing and back and forth between me and Teemu [Mantysaari] is magnificent!!"
The new single follows "Tipping Point" as the second track issued from the thrash band's forthcoming final album.
Due for release on January 23, 2026, "Megadeth" was co-produced by band founder Dave Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw; it marks the follow-up to 2022's “The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!”
