"'My Give a Damn's Busted'" is a song written by American country music artist Joe Diffie along with Tom Shapiro and Tony Martin. Diffie originally recorded the song on his 2001 album 'In Another World'. The song was later recorded by Jo Dee Messina on her album 'Delicious Surprise'. Released on January 3, 2005, Messina's version spent two weeks at the top of the 'Billboard' Hot Country Songs charts that year, and her first chart single since "I Wish" in late 2003 early 2004. Canadian country music singer Michelle Wright included her version of the song on her 2006 album 'Everything and More'.

Music video



A music video was released for the song, directed by Peter Zavadil. The main performance takes place in the middle of a big city street, with Messina performing with her band behind her. Also included, are scenes of her walking down a sidewalk while being followed by a persistent man, to whom she directs the spoken lines of the song. Other scenes feature her in an alleyway alone singing, and in a room with a huge glass mirror. During the parts of the song where the male's parents and therapist are mentioned, Messina is also seen with the man in both situations. It was filmed on 2 very cold days in February 2005, in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
