"I Don't Mind" is a song by American singer Usher, featuring American rapper Juicy J. It was released on November 21, 2014, through RCA Records, as the intended third single from his then-upcoming eighth studio album, Hard II Love. The song's lyrics concern being involved with a stripper, and not being bothered by her line of work.

The song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart, becoming his thirteenth number-one single on the chart and tying him with Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye for sixth place among artists with the most number ones on the chart. Internationally, "I Don't Mind" has peaked within the top ten of the charts in the United Kingdom.^[1]

Background

An unfinished version of the track surfaced on June 24, 2014, online to good reception. Usher posted the song to his official SoundCloud account on October 2, 2014, confirming it to be the next official single from his then titled album Flawed.^[2]
