"Fuck It"
Song

"Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)" is the title of a song co-written and recorded by American R&B singer Eamon. It was released in November 2003 as the lead single from the album, I Don't Want You Back.

The song is most notable for the frequency of its expletives. It also reached #1 in Australia and the United Kingdom. It appeared in Billboard magazine as "F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)".

It also earned a listing on the Guinness World Records for "the most expletives in a #1 song", with 33.[1]

History

The success of the single and the controversial nature of its lyrics prompted production of an answer song, "F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)", by female singer Frankee who claimed to be Eamon's ex-girlfriend.

While Eamon initially said that he selected Frankee to record the song at an audition, he later stated that his only involvement was in clearing the use of the music with the following written statement:

"I was not involved with 'F.U.R.B.' I have never met Frankee and she is definitely not my girlfriend or ex-girlfriend. The only way I was associated with it was when I was asked for licensing permission by Frankee's representatives, which makes me a writer on her song by copyright law. But I really didn't expect all this to come out of it, they are having fun with it, it's cool but in the end they are paying me for their 15 minutes of fame and I welcome her to my world of Ho-Wop!"[2]

British BBC Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles was heavily critical of both songs, going as far as to record and broadcast his own spoof version; "We Want You To Leave", claiming that both singles were the product of what amounted to nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy by Eamon and Frankee's record labels.

During the programme Record Of The Year in 2004, Simon Cowell stated that it was his favourite song of the year.
