"It Don't Move Me" is a song by Swedish rock band Peter Bjorn and John, released as the third single from their fifth studio album Living Thing. It was written and composed by group members Peter Morén, Björn Yttling, and John Eriksson, and produced by the latter of the three. The song, like much of the album, is influenced by synthpop, featuring common synthpop elements such as electronically tweaked drums and synthesizers.[1]
The song, described by music review site Pitchfork Media as "a diatribe against sentimentalism ostensibly directed at an ex-lover," failed to gain significant chart success, and received mixed reviews from critics, with Pitchfork also noting that it "plays like a virtual rewrite of "Young Folks"...but with the bongos and whistles relinquished in favor of a hand-clapped electro-funk backing track and deep piano tones."[2]
