In an emotional clip he shared, the singer performed an acoustic rendition of the deep cut I Don't Care, which concerns a man unsuccessfully trying to move on from a break up.
The song was originally featured in his fourth album, 2007's Pure BS, and he loved it so much that he also included it in the follow-up, 2008's Startin' Fires.

However, despite his affection for it, the song was never made an official single and went underrated in his discography, a decision he revealed has irked him over the years.
"Back in the day I wanted this song to be a single so bad I put it on 2 different albums. We never got to it and I still regret it. Thought I'd dig it out for y'all. It's called I Don't Care," he wrote alongside his performance.

His The Voice co-star and Today host Carson Daly also chimed in, explaining: "The Startin Fires version was better than the bs deluxe version IMO…but 2 things stick out - this acoustic version is killer & timing is everything.
"The story, lyrics & your voice hit home waaay more now than back then. Release it this way & see if 3rd time's a charm."
