It Doesn’t Matter For Caroline Romano

Following her recent singles, girl in a china shop, Tell Her I Said Hi, and Used By You, Doesn’t Matter sees Caroline Romano continuing to develop her distinct and dynamic blend of indie-pop and alt-rock. On Doesn’t Matter, her dreamy, sing-song vocals dance atop soaring dreamy synths and a driving percussive groove. There’s a playfulness to the song’s instrumentation that compliments her captivating, stream-of-consciousness lyricism.

“Doesn’t Matter is sort of a ‘choose your own storyline’ song,” says Romano. “I wrote it about a relationship that felt like a double-edged sword; a relationship that had me thinking that maybe the inevitable heartbreak would be worth it. It’s a song about falling, all too carelessly, for someone on a rainy evening with the car radio playing. It’s simple and convoluted and all too accurate, at least from my personal experience.”

At just 22-years-old, Nashville-based Caroline Romano has established herself as a versatile artist, effortlessly transitioning between misty-eyed ballads and fiery alt-rock anthems. Memorialising the highs and lows of young adulthood with her unflinchingly honest songwriting, the singer has captured the hearts of fans and tastemakers alike.

Listen to Doesn’t Matter below:

In 2022, she released her highly-anticipated 16-track debut album, Oddities And Prodigies. She followed the album with her 2023 EP, A Brief Epic, a 6-track project that explored love and loss. With each new single that’s followed, Romano has continued to reveal new layers of her artistry, resulting in some of her most confident and authentic songs yet.
