Background

McEntire first teased the release of "I Can't" during her appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on May 2, 2024, and announced that her first studio album in five years is coming "soon".[1] She debuted the song with a live performance on May 7, 2024, on The Voice, where she serves as a judge on the current season.[2][3] She performed the song live again when she hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time on May 16, 2024.[4]

"I Can't" is described as "a driving, dramatic, soulful number that plays as part breakup song and part ode to survival"[2] and has drawn comparisons to her song "I'm a Survivor".[5]
