The story behind the song

"Who Cares" was written by Paul McCartney as a song to directly address listeners, particularly young people who might be experiencing bullying. He imagined those who feel picked on, whether by internet trolls or schoolyard bullies, and wanted to offer some help and advice. The lyrics pose questions about being fed up with mean treatment, then pivot to the titular "who cares" as a form of reassurance. It’s a message of solidarity and comfort for anyone feeling targeted.
