A song that musically personifies Keeles journey, “Can’t Stop Me Now” is as inspirational as the artist who created it. Indirectly covering her journey into becoming an artist, “Can’t Stop Me Now” tells the story of someone who bravely follows their dreams after years of waiting. Creating the unstoppable momentum that comes with going all in, the tune honours Keeles brave journey which saw her leave behind everything that held her back, and empowers those thinking of making a change of their own to do the same. Blending Keeles love of Classic Rock and Country, the song opens with a melodic blend of acoustic and electric guitar, which carefully follow her delicately delivered first verse into the song’s explosive chorus. Originally written on piano, Keeles and Gasparic collaborated to give the song an unforgettable, driving rhythm that both encourages and inspires, and features a gripping guitar solo that leads into the final chorus.
