"It Matters to Me" is a song written by

country music artist
Faith Hill. It was released in November 1995 as the second single and title track from Hill’s second album

Hot 100.
Critical reception
Wendy Newcomer from Cash Box wrote, "Though she initially patterned herself vocally after heroes like
Reba McEntire, Faith Hill seems to be coming into her own style. “It Matters To Me” is a top-notch second single from Hill's sophomore album. Hill has always found her highest chart positions with uptempo songs, but the strength of her performance on this song may secure success with a
ballad as well."[2]
