Jenny McCarthy's son, Evan, is making his family proud. The 20-year-old just debuted his first original song, It Doesn't Matter, and he did it with the help of his famous family, including his stepfather, Donnie Wahlberg.

Evan worked on his song solo for some time before the Blue Bloods actor stepped in with some creative advice.

He encouraged Evan to sing the lyrics himself and even got his son, Elijah - who is the frontman of the bank Pink laces - to get involved.

They brought the song to life before enlisting Evan's filmmaker dad, John Asher, to make the music video.Speaking of the process, Donnie told People: "It was a joy to help Evan make his song a reality. He is such an incredibly sincere young man, who really has the heart of a saint and the spirit of an artist, but none of this was handed to him — he had to put in a lot of work and prove that he was committed to the process."

Jenny couldn't contain how proud she was of her son's latest achievement 

Evan was inspired to write the song about his celebrity crush, Selena Gomez.

The aspiring singer, gamer and filmmaker said: "One of the many reasons why I admire and respect Selena Gomez is her ability to be brave no matter what life throws at her.

"He is the kindest, sweetest, most loving human being on this planet, and I'm excited for what the future holds for him."
