• "Indifferent" is a swaggering rock anthem that captures the exhilarating rush of finally breaking free from the chains of a past love. Megan Moroney testifies to reclaiming her power after a breakup.
• Moroney doesn't shy away from the heartbreak that precedes this newfound freedom, laying bare the obsessive behaviors that often accompany a painful split. The song takes a triumphant turn as the chorus kicks in, driving home the theme of indifference.
  
  Now I don't even know what I'm missin'
  Don't care what it is or it isn't
  Don't need your attention or your time
  Moroney is no longer hung up on the ex who once meant so much
  
  "A song like 'Indifferent,' it was just kind of what I was going through at the time," Moroney told Apple Music.
• Moroney co-wrote the song alongside singer-songwriter Ben Williams and siblings Micah and Mackenzie Carpenter. The same three also helped her pen her singles "I'm Not Pretty" and "28th Of June."
• It's likely that Megan Moroney is singing about the same ex in both "Indifferent" and the preceding track on Am I Okay?, "28th June."
  
  June came and went
  When's your birthday again? Did I miss it? My bad, that's on me
  
  The reference to "June came and went" and forgetting the ex's birthday in "Indifferent" suggests a continuation of the narrative from "28th June," where the focus is on a past relationship and the pain of remembering its anniversary.
  
  It's a clever way to show the progression of emotions from heartbreak and longing in "28th June" to indifference and empowerment in "Indifferent."
• The song debuted at #91 on the Hot 100 during the tracking week ending July 27, 2024. It was Moroney's third appearance on the chart, following "Tennessee Orange" at #30 in 2022 and "No Caller ID" at #58 in 2024.
• For "Indifferent," producer Kristian Bush created an upbeat tempo. "I think in the studio," said Moroney, "I'm like, 'OK, because this song turned into what it is, we need to make this rock. We need to make it punch really hard, because this is going to be crazy at live shows.' So, it's kind of like after the song was written, just making sure in the studio it was executed the way that we wanted it to be."
