"Can't Repeat" was the one new song on the Offspring's 2005 Greatest Hits, placed first in line, and it went to radio that May before landing as a single the day before the album. Fittingly for a band taking stock, it's about looking back at what's gone, and Dexter Holland sings it with more ache than snark.
Jerry Finn produced and mixed it, and it's punk rock with the gloss turned up: Noodles' guitar churning, Greg Kriesel's bass pushing hard, Josh Freese driving the drums. The main video simply showed the group bashing away in a run-down, empty room, and MTV barely touched it; an alternate cut with actors poring over old photographs and memories hardly aired at all. It was the last Offspring video with Atom Willard behind the kit.
