Speaking to Radio X, Tom Ogden said: "We've got a new single out today, so the all-round vibe with the band is good. We're excited about that."[1] Speaking to NME, Ogden said, "In the end, we recorded it in 21 days or something like that, but over the course of maybe 4 months. We looked back at how can we improve ourselves, before we realised that we’ve gotta take our live setup up another level and have some more upbeat songs."[2]
A music video to accompany the release of "I Can't Stand It" was first released onto YouTube on 9 March 2018.[3] When talking about the video, Tom Ogden said, "The video was inspired by the film Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. I’m undergoing a procedure to erase memories of a former love."[2][4]
