Shouldn't Matter but It Does - John Mayer - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Shouldn't Matter but It Does" is the second track on John Mayer's eighth studio album Sob Rock, released in 2021. Written by John Mayer and produced by the legendary Don Was, the song offers a break from the album's 80s-inspired aesthetic, featuring acoustic guitar and subtle backing instrumentation. A heartbreaking ballad with lyrics that enumerate a long list of hypothetical scenarios in the aftermath of a failed relationship, "Shouldn't Matter but It Does" is, hands down, one of John Mayer's most earnest and saddest songs. Despite not having been released as a single, the track is said to be one of John Mayer's favorite songs from the album. It was performed live by John Mayer on the late-night talk show The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongside lead single "Last Train Home." A live performance of the song on The Today Show was officially released via John Mayer's video-sharing channel.
