Honeybees, we just found your new favorite rising artist! Marianne Leigh is giving us the angsty pop-punk we’ve always dreamed of on ‘I DON’T CARE,’ an energetic song about insecurity, especially when it comes to relationships. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not really good enough for the person you want to be with, you’ll be able to see yourself in this track instantly, and it’s so cathartic. It captures the scary emotions of that situation so well, and Marianne’s vocals bring the feelings to life!
Even if you’re not necessarily feeling that in a romantic situation but still find yourself comparing yourself to everyone you see while you’re scrolling down your Instagram feed, you’ll be able to dive into this song headfirst. And even if you’re the most confident person in the world, we guarantee there will be something on ‘I DON’T CARE’ that you love! Come on, who doesn’t love a good pop-punk banger?
I write from a personal place, this song in particular being a way to untangle my thoughts surrounding self-comparison and turn them into something digestible. Writing my deeply buried fears into the unapologetically fierce pop-punk genre was really important to me.

‘I DON’T CARE’ not only brings us a heavier sound than the dreamy, soft pop we’re used to from Marianne, but it also commemorates the start of a new era of her career and life. Just a few months ago, she moved from her home in New Zealand to London, England, by herself, and we could only imagine how intimidating that must’ve been. While in London, she recorded her vocals for ‘I DON’T CARE’ and sent them back to NZ engineer Emily Wheatcroft-Snape, who helped polish the song into the masterpiece we’re hearing now.
London was always a question for me, a dream that felt unattainable. I just had to explore the music world here.
