Misc = "Can't Repeat" is a single by American punk rock band The Offspring. It is the first original track on their only compilation album "Greatest Hits". It was released on June 20, 2005.

Dexter Holland is said to have written this song while flying solo around the world. Speaking about its inclusion on "Greatest Hits", he said 'the way the world works now, if you really want people to hear about a greatest hits record, you need that new song'.

ong meaning

The song generally discusses the futility of attempting to change the past. It states how humans have to move on with their lives.

Music video

The music video for the song simply featured the band playing in a derelict room, and it received little airtime on MTV. An alternate version was made showing actors looking back on photographs and memories, reflecting the song's subject matter, though this was very rarely shown. It was the second and final video to feature Atom Willard playing the drums.
