Production and release[edit]
He was very focused in the studio. He wrote his rhyme and then out of nowhere, he came up with the "I know you love me" part and I loved that [singing] section. I feel like he was a perfect collaboration because he really focuses on what he's doing.
—Carey on working with YG.[6]
Carey debuted "I Don't" during an episode of her E! docuseries, Mariah's World, on January 29, 2017.[7] Footage of Carey recording a snippet of the song in a studio booth was broadcast during the episode, which Hugh McIntyre of Forbes described as "perfect timing as far as promotion goes".[3][5] Two days later on January 31, the cover art was revealed by Carey via her official Twitter; it shows the singer in the backseat of a white car with red leathers and accompanied by the track's featured rapper, YG, riding shotgun.[5] Epic Records subsequently released the track for download on February 3, 2017.[8] On March 24, 2017, a remix featuring Remy Ma was released.[9][10]
Critical reception[edit]
Mike Wiss of Idolator described the song as being as "legendary" as the artwork: "Mariah Carey has had a really tough year. She literally rang in 2017 with one of the worst (not-quite) live performances of all time and endured the various humiliations of Mariah's World — including a fake romance with backing dancer, Bryan Tanaka." He added: "Happily, everything else is spot on. Mariah's voice is in fine form and the decision to interpolate Donnell Jones' "Where I Wanna Be" is inspired."[11] Hugh McIntyre from Forbes wrote that the song "doesn’t see the pop star stepping too far out of the comfort zone she’s created over the past decade, opting for a laid back vibe that may please her true devotees, but which might not be uptempo enough to catch the attention of fairweather fans".[3]
Music video[edit]
The music video for the song premiered via Carey's Vevo channel on February 3, 2017.[12] It depicts Carey forlorn by her breakup, wearing a wedding dress only to eventually burn it. She moves in and out of a car in various outfits, from latex to lace. At one point, Carey wears an engagement ring on her middle finger, before pointing it at the camera.[13] Carey directed the video herself and executive-produced the video with her former manager, Stella Bulochnikov.[12]
Live performances[edit]
Carey and YG performed "I Don't" live on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 15, 2017.[14]
