Toronto indie pop singer-songwriter and producer ARK IDENTITY returns with “Can’t Stop Loving You,” a confessional, melancholic new single that captures the ache of a love that lingers long after it’s ended. The track is the latest offering from the artist’s upcoming EP Deluxe Nightmare, out October 24th.
Drifting between dreamy textures and vulnerable lyricism, “Can’t Stop Loving You” leans into the still-burning embers of a past connection. For Noah Mroueh, the artist behind ARK IDENTITY, this song cuts deep.
“This song captures the bittersweet ache of a love that just won’t fade,” Noah shares. “It’s a raw, honest look at the lingering feelings after a breakup, the kind where you’re trying to move on but your heart keeps pulling you back.”

As with much of ARK IDENTITY’s work, the soundscape is immersive and hazy—pulling from dream pop’s ethereal textures and indie pop’s emotional immediacy. Lush synths wrap around sparse percussion and Noah’s soft, aching vocals, evoking the solitude of late-night drives or quiet moments of reflection.
“This song is incredibly personal for me. It’s about that universal feeling of trying to move on from someone you deeply cared about, but realizing a part of you just can’t let go,” Noah explains. “That ‘crack in the pavement’ moment, where something small triggers a flood of memories—I think everyone can relate to that.”
