“Can’t Dance is a catchy pop song that explores the theme of resilience in the face of adversity. The song is inspired by my own personal experience of going through a difficult time and struggling to find joy and hope in life.
The song has a contrast between the upbeat melody and the dark lyrics, which creates a sense of irony and humor.
