Who Really Cares, released in 1969, is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Janis Ian, and her last for Verve Forecast.

The title was taken from Ian's first book of poetry, published shortly after the album's release.

[3] At the time she made Who Really Cares, Janis Ian was in a crisis following her initial success with "Society's Child".

She had attempted suicide, taken cocaine with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin[4] and seen her parents split as she moved into her own apartment.

Who Really Cares was almost entirely ignored by the music press upon its release in fall 1969 and failed to return Ian to the top 200, and her contract with Verve was consequently not renewed.
