So What? is a song written by the British punk band the Anti-Nowhere League. The song first appeared as the B-side of the band's debut 7 single Streets of London, in 1981.
The obscene lyrical content of the song caused the British police to seize all copies of the single from the band's distributors under the Obscene Publications Act and remove all copies from sale. The word "fuck" appeared in the first line of the song. The song has subsequently been appended to various CD reissues of the We Are... The League album and has become somewhat of an anthem for the band.
The song was covered by Metallica and released as a B-side to the Sad But True single. So What? has become an in-concert standard for the band. Unfortunately, James Hetfield, lead singer of Metallica, reportedly damaged his voice during recording of this song, around the time of the Black Album.
