Can you not? Finds Power in Vulnerability

Can You Not? has just released their new single “I Laugh When I’m Nervous” – a song that captures the uneasy tension between holding everything in and finally letting go. Blending punchy guitars, emotional lyricism, and a sharp sense of self-awareness, the track channels frustration and relief in equal measure.

The single was recorded with longtime collaborator Tyler Austin and mixed by Brian Swindle of Have Mercy, marking a confident step forward in both sound and songwriting. From its biting chorus to its explosive outro, “I Laugh When I’m Nervous” feels like a breakthrough moment for the band – raw, honest, and full of energy.

Lyrically, it touches on themes of control, pride, and emotional restraint, reflecting on how people mask pain with humor or composure. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever laughed to hide what hurts.
