If You Don't Love Me, It's Fine

"If You Don't Love Me, It's Fine" (Chinese: 不愛我就拉倒; pinyin: Bù ài wǒ jiù lādǎo) is a song by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou. It was released on May 14, 2018, as the second single for this fifteenth studio album Greatest Works of Art (2022) under JVR Music. The song was written by Jay Chou whilst production was handled by Chou and Devon Song.

"If You Don't Love Me, It's Fine" remained at number one on the Billboard Radio China Top 10 chart for multiple consecutive weeks, and was ranked number four on the chart's annual ranking for 2018.

Background

"If You Don't Love Me, It's Fine" was written by Chou and Devon Song backstage at a concert. While preparing for a performance, Chou overheard Song say "Forget it if you don't want it" during a phone call. After the concert, Chou borrowed a guitar from a fellow musician and invited Song to his room to collaborate. Both of them worked on the song until 5 a.m., with Chou composing the melody while he and Song co-wrote the lyrics.

Commercial performance

"If You Don't Love Me, It's Fine" reached number two in Singapore, number eight on the Chinese singles chart in Malaysia, and number seventeen on the Billboard Taiwan Songs chart during the week of July 30, 2022.

Music video

The music video depicts the story of a motorcyclist and his lover. It opens with Chou gazing at the pouring rain from a high-ceiling room, featuring a grey marble grand piano and a Harley-style motorcycle. It then shifts to the motorcyclist racing down the expressway, interspersed with flashbacks of memories with his ex-lover.
