Don't Matter (Remix)

**Don’t Matter** is a song by American recording artist, August Alsina from his upcoming third studio album, "*Drugs*".

The song’s sexual orientation and consistent double meanings allow it to be perceived as a song about falling in love, as well as a song about love making.

Zayn is featured on the remix version of the song.

## Background

“Don’t Matter,” is August Alsina’s fourth song release since '‘This Thing Called Life’' dropped on December 11th, 2015. Although “Lonely,” “Wait,” and “Drugs,” have all been released as singles in the early months of 2017, Alsina considers this song his, “First actual single in a long time,” according to his Instagram.

Alsina has been consistent with the hashtag “DRUGS” on his Instagram lately, providing fans with a possible title for his third upcoming studio album.

The remix version of the song, which features British singer-songwriter Zayn Malik, had been leaked on the internet. Malik took over twitter stating that his "fans mean more to [him] than a stupid leak."

The song is available for free download through Malik's official website and can be found here,

## Lyrics

**[August Alsina]**

When we put in the work, it's gon' be a long night

Come by where you live, won't take no time

When I'm all in the middle, where you wanna go now?

We could bring it up top, tell me what's on your mind

I be knocking down the walls every time you make that call

You be changing all your plans, but you're callin' me your man

You got something I can feel, baby, girl, it's been so long

I been, I been having withdrawals, I been having withdrawals

Yeah, wouldn't you know it, tell me if you know this

I've been doing good (I've been doing good)

We got it all, baby, right all my wrongs, baby

Loving you so good (loving you so good, yeah)

I don't know how to feel when I'm close to you

Late nights holding you, laid my eyes on you

I'm gon' ride for you (oh yeah)

When I'm close to you, late nights holding you

We ain't got all day, don't really care what they say

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

Nah, it don't matter to me, nah, nah

**[ZAYN]**

It don't matter to me

I bring the sand to the beach

Dive in the ocean, we rocking' the boat

Girl, you look like Aaliyah to me yeah

One in a million, you're one of a kind

Baby you blowing, you're blowing my mind

All of my neighbors they wanna know why (know why)

I be knocking down them walls every time you make that call

You be changing all your plans, but you're callin' me your man

You got something I can feel, baby girl, it's been so long

I been, I been having withdrawals, I been having withdrawals

Yeah, wouldn't you know it, tell me if you know this

I've been doing good (I've been doing good)

We got it all, baby, right all my wrongs, baby

Loving you so good (loving you so good)

**[August Alsina]**

I don't know how to feel when I'm close to you

Late nights holding you, laid my eyes on you

I'm gon' ride for you (oh yeah)

When I'm close to you, late nights holding you

We ain't got all day, don't really care what they say

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

It don't matter to me, it don't matter to me

Nah, it don't matter to me, nah, nah
