About "Can't Do This Anymore":

Can't Do This Anymore Single Cover

This song ties together the perfect blend of indie rock and grunge influences that make for an electric sound escape. With crunched up guitar, the driving force of the drumline, and powerhouse vocals, Kilgren provides the song's lyrical heartbeat and creates the perfect soundtrack as the days get warmer. Upon listening, one can imagine the heat mirage radiating off the pavement mirroring the nuance of feminine rage which cuts deep through this anthemic track.

Kilgren cites inspiration from the alt-rock and riot grrrl movements from the '90s and the heavy, aggressive sound evoking the spirit of bands like Nirvana.. "This song is about going no contact with an abusive parent," Kilgren Shares, "I grew up in a really messed up situation and honestly never saw myself escaping because I didn't know how. In learning how to prioritize my own safety and mental health, I realized it's unnecessary to have a relationship with someone who will never change or be a good person to you". But she thinks that this song is "definitely our most 'hardcore,'", and that their sound is "always evolving depending on what story we're trying to tell, and the in-your-face composition here really matches the anger in the lyrics."

What I Thought About The Single:

This song has a lot of 90's-like vibes when you start listening to it. This song can be relatable (if you have been in a situation where you aren't in contact with an abusive parent, or have been in a situation where you were in a abusive relationship).
