Don't Matter to Me

Featuring Michael Jackson

Don't Matter to Me is one of Scorpion's most talked-about songs because it features a previously unreleased Michael Jackson vocal, recorded years earlier and incorporated into the track. The collaboration generated significant press and debate about the use of an archival performance from a deceased artist. Musically the song is widely read as a smooth, downcast breakup record — Drake and the Jackson vocal trading lines about a partner's departure and the attempt to convince oneself it no longer stings. On the singing-leaning side of the double album, it functions as a marquee event track, its cultural footprint driven as much by the unexpected pairing as by the song itself.
