You Can't Control It

"You Can't Control It" is a song by American musician Jack Johnson from his 2017 album All the Light Above It Too. The song was released on August 25, 2017, and is the third single from the album.[1] The song was written about the pollution in the ocean and on beaches.[2] The song originated from a jam that Jack played the drums in with Zach Gill in his garage.[3] Jack then decided to play the riff for his producer Robbie Lackritz to see if it should be featured on the album. Lackritz said the drum beat sounded like "Any other 90's song." They changed the 90's drum beat to many different beats by layering them together.[3]
