Until 2009, Torres had a Sunday-night Freestyle show on New York's popular radio station WKTU 103.5. She is still on the radio station.
In 2001, Torres scored a major club hit with the sentimental love song "Back in Your Arms Again." It peaked at #7 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, her highest charting single yet.[citation needed] It was also featured in an excellent remix version on the popular compilation series White Party. In 2004, she released her debut single on the wildly successful label Robbins Entertainment that was titled "The Air I Breathe," which featured freestyle artist Collage. It is a Hi-NRG song produced by famed A-List producer Tony Moran. The single proformed modestly on the charts.
In late 2005, Judy released the single "Faithfully." The song immediately began to receive heavy airplay at dance stations throughout the nation. It is a cover of a 1983 hit by the band Journey. The single soon peaked at #1 as one of the most-requested songs on WKTU. It peaked at #1 on the station's Top 8 at 8:00 PM show for more than five weeks altogether. Other Rhythmic/Dance format radio stations in the U.S. soon added the popular single from New York to their playlists. The CD-single of "Faithfully" peaked at #8 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. In August 2007, Torres returned to her Freestyle music roots with the single "I Don't." The song is a cover of Danielle Peck's Top 30 country hit written by Clay Mills/Peck/Burton Collins. In November 2008, Judy released "Hell, No," an anthem for abused women.
Judy Torres appears in the 2012 film Elliot Loves, in which she plays the role of Aunt Nani. Late in 2013, she released the Dance-pop song "Beautiful Life". She continues to record and perform.
I Don't
Judy Torres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you're doing better
For your sake I hope its true
I wish you well
But that's all that I can do
Save your “I'm sorry”s
Just leave them at the door
You say I should stay with you
That Jesus forgives you
You pray I will
But I won't
The difference is
Jesus loves you
I don't
I know it sounds cruel
And it's really not like me
But here I am
In this place
I never thought I should be
The tears I'm crying
Are just tears of goodbye
I hope you find someone else
Somewhere in your life
Somewhere in your life
You say I should stay with you
That Jesus forgives you
You pray I will
But I won't
The difference is
Jesus loves you
I don't
I don't want to know you still want me
I don't need to hear you can't sleep
No I don't, no I don't
You say I should stay with you
That Jesus forgives you
You pray I will
But I won't
The difference is
Jesus loves you
You say I should stay with you
That Jesus forgives you
You pray I will
But I won't
The difference is
Jesus loves you
Jesus loves you
I don't
Jesus loves you
I don't
The song "I Don't" by Judy Torres is a powerful breakup song that talks about the end of a relationship where one partner has betrayed the other. The song opens with the singer acknowledging that her ex has claimed to be doing better, but she only wishes him well - nothing more. She doesn't want his apologies anymore, and is no longer willing to take on guilt for what he has done.
The chorus of the song is the most striking section, where the singer makes it clear that she cannot forgive her ex even though he is asking for it. He tells her that Jesus forgives him and prays she will do the same, but she won't. There is a fundamental difference between Jesus and her - Jesus may love him, but she doesn't. She acknowledges the cruelty of this sentiment, but is honest about where she stands.
As the song comes to a close, the singer sheds tears of goodbye, hoping that her ex will move on and find someone else. She doesn't want to hear about his continued feelings for her and his inability to sleep without her. Ultimately, the difference between her and Jesus is that he may love her ex, but she cannot.
Overall, "I Don't" is a song about standing up for oneself and recognizing when a relationship is over. It's about acknowledging the pain and hurt that come with betrayal, and refusing to take on the responsibility for the other person's actions. The song's emotional intensity and powerful lyrics make it a standout anthem for anyone going through a difficult breakup or betrayal.

You say you're doing better
You claim to be making progress in your life
For your sake I hope its true
I wish that what you're saying is actually genuine for your own good
I wish you well
I hope you find happiness
But that's all that I can do
I can't give you more than my good wishes

I don't want to hear you apologize again
Just leave them at the door
Your apologies hold no power over me
You can't make me feel guilty anymore
You have no control over my feelings of guilt
You say I should stay with you
You try to convince me to be with you
That Jesus forgives you
You ask for forgiveness from a higher power
You pray I will

The contrast between us is
Jesus loves you

I don't
But I don't love you
I know it sounds cruel
I'm aware that what I'm saying isn't kind
And it's really not like me
This isn't my usual character
But here I am
Yet, here I stand
In this place
In this difficult situation
I never thought I should be
One that I couldn't have imagined I would be in
The tears I'm crying
The tears that I shed
Are just tears of goodbye
Are just tears of parting
I hope you find someone else
I hope you find a better match
Somewhere in your life
At some point in the future
I don't want to know you still want me
I don't want to know that you still have feelings for me
I don't need to hear you can't sleep
I don't need to hear about your troubles
No I don't, no I don't
I don't want to hear it, not at all
Jesus loves you
You're still loved by a higher power regardless of my feelings
I don't
But I don't have love for you
