Don't Matter

Akon’s “Don’t Matter” (2007) is a mid-tempo R&B/reggae fusion ballad about defying gossip and staying true to love. With a lilting island-flavored melody and Akon’s gentle, crooning vocals, the track became an easygoing anthem for devoted couples. It topped the Billboard Hot 100, giving Akon one of his signature hits and cementing his dominance of 2000s R&B-pop with its breezy, heartfelt vibe.
