"like you didn't care I don't know why lyrics r&b" was my query

discuss

It would be nice if this worked, but in Google's defense, this is an odd combination of an exact search phrase of common words and then a couple categorical terms that don't have to actually appear on the page. If you help it by searching for just the quoted phrase you want without the additional terms it puts the result you want both as the top result and in a pullout at the top of the page: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22like+you+didn%27t+care+I+...

But google used to be able to handle cases like this without quotes...

Haha yeah, I was wondering when someone would suggest this. Last night, after I got the result back immediately from DuckDuckGo and Bing, I returned to Google and added quotes around the lyric itself, and it returned the right result immediately.

A simple keyword search wouldn't get so confused.

What, did you really have 'lyrics r&b' inside the double quotes? That's not part of the phrase in the lyrics (I'd guess), so your own fault then.

I wouldn't expect that "r&b" would help the query.

and DDG, first result

Was it Save Your Tears by The Weeknd?

Yup! The version I was looking for was a slowed & reverb version that I later found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkXCAKgqD3M

Wow, same results here. That's pretty poor.

Weirdly the problem is "r&b". If you take that off you get the song immediately...
