"Can't Slow Down" is a song recorded by Canadian pop rock band Hedley for their sixth studio album Hello (2015). It was written by lead singer Jacob Hoggard with Jarrett Holmes and Brian Howes, and was produced by Howes, Hoggard, and Jason "JVP" Van Poederooyen with additional production from Holmes. The song was first released to digital retailers on October 2, 2015 as the record's first promotional single and was later serviced to radio on August 25, 2016 as the fourth and final official single.[1][2]
Upon its initial release, "Can't Slow Down" entered the Canadian Hot 100 at number 94. After its release as a single, it reached a new peak of 43 and has also impacted multiple airplay charts. It has been described as the band's "most personal" song to date.[3]
"Can't Slow Down" is an electropop song with a "chilled vibe" and "deeply personal" lyrics that describe "the dark side of fame."[4][5] Inspired by Hoggard's struggle to balance his personal relationships with his celebrity status, the song is "the most personal, honest look at the realities of life in the fast lane," according to a statement Hoggard made to Postmedia Network.[3]Toronto Paradise magazine labelled the song a "stand out track" on the album for being highly produced without coming across as "too try hard."[4]
