"IDGAF" (an acronym for "I don't give a fuck") is a song by English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa from her eponymous debut studio album (2017). The song was written by Lipa, MNEK, Larzz Principato, Skyler Stonestreet, and Whiskey Water, with Koz handling the production. It was released for digital download and streaming on 12 January 2018 as the eighth and final single from the album. A pop song, Lipa uses a deadpan vocal delivery, backed by an electro palm-muted electric guitar riff and a militaristic drum line. Lyrically, the song is about an ex-boyfriend who intends to get back with the singer, who is uninterested.

Several music critics complimented the strong production and post-breakup lyrics of "IDGAF". The song was viewed as a sequel to "New Rules", Lipa's previous single. It was nominated for British Single of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. Commercially, the song reached the top 10 of charts in 20 territories worldwide, including Croatia and Ireland where it reached the summit. On the UK Singles Chart the song peaked at number 3. It is certified multi-platinum in six countries. This includes a triple platinum award in the United Kingdom, double platinum awards in Italy, Norway, and the United States, a quadruple platinum award in Australia, and a six-times platinum certification in Canada.

The music video for "IDGAF" accompanied its single release and was directed by Henry Scholfield. It features two versions of Lipa, a vulnerable romantic and an empowered spirit, who perform a dance battle against one another with their respective girl groups. One group wears purple and the other wears orange. Several critics praised its self-love message and the choreography. The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards and British Video of the Year at the 2019 Brit Awards. Lipa promoted the song with numerous live performances, including ones on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Remixes by Anna of the North, Young Franco, and featuring Saweetie were released for further promotion.
