"IDGAF" (an acronym for "I don't give a fuck") is a song by English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017).

The song was written by Lipa, MNEK, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet, and Whiskey Water, with Koz handling the production.

A pop song, Lipa uses a deadpan vocal delivery, backed by an electro palm-muted electric guitar riff and a militaristic drum line.

It features two versions of Lipa, a vulnerable romantic and an empowered spirit, who perform a dance battle against one another with their respective girl groups.

"IDGAF" was written by Dua Lipa alongside MNEK, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet and Whiskey Water, with production from Koz.

[1] The song was originally written by MNEK and was later picked up by Lipa who made adjustments with him in the studio; she did this to make the lyrics more relevant to her.

[4] Lipa was inspired after an ex-boyfriend who was really mean to her, messaged her saying "Hi" and expressing his enjoyment of her music, which made her think, "What gives him the right to call me now and see how I'm doing?

[10] The track is backed by an electro palm-muted electric guitar riff,[8][11] a militaristic drum line,[12][13] a piano and a multi-tracked chorus.

[7][10] Lyrically in "IDGAF", the female protagonist's former lover comes back and attempts to rekindle things with her, but she sends him on his way and makes sure he knows that she is not thinking about him.

[21] On 27 February 2018, the song impacted contemporary hit radio formats in the United States as the album's fourth single in the country.

"[34] Sean Ward from The 405, praised the song for being a "stadium stomper" and predicted it to be a "dormant hit," while also viewing it as "a bright indicator to the longevity of [Lipa's] chart domination."

He concluded by labelling the chorus "gigantic," the hook "memorable," and praising those aspects for being "radio A-list whilst retaining a subtle cool.

"[35] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH praised "IDGAF" for being "decisive" and Lipa's "don't mess" attitude, while commenting that it "[cuts] through the texture.

"[37] Sebas E. Alonso from Jenesaispop called the track a "hymn of self-sufficiency" and compared the guitar to "Shape of You" (2017) by Sheeran and TLC's "No Scrubs" (1999).

[38] In a negative review from The Line of Best Fit, Claire Biddles thought the song felt "forced," further elaborating writing "like she's convincing herself that she doesn't care."

She went on to call it a "relatable charade" that "falls a little flat," while also criticizing her lack of "carefree persona," unlike other tracks on Dua Lipa.

[42] In February 2023, the song was awarded a triple platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for track-equivalent sales of 1,800,000 units.

[85] Billboard editor Nicholas Rice wrote that it sees Lipa "visualizing the internal struggle one faces through her hot and cold outfit color choices and interpretive dancing.

"[83] Nora-Grayce Orosz from Complex stated that Lipa "bringing all the sass of her previous releases times two," and named the "[expert]" choreography "old-school.

"[88] Nylon's Hafeezah Nazim complimented the "intense interpretative" choreography and regarded the video as a whole "a visual representation of Lipa's internal struggle with herself.

"[82] The Staff for Promotion Music News commended the video for "perfectly [encapsulating] those struggles that one faces during a breakup," and for ending on a positive note.

[89] In his review for Idolator, Mike Wass called the video "emo" and "striking," while Mar Maldonado of Soundigest viewed it as "unique" and "visually appealing.

It began with Lipa singing to herself in a mirror before being joined by four background dancers and a full band that included an electric guitarist.
