"Can't Dance" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was written by Trainor, Andrew Wells and Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and produced by Wells. "Can't Dance" was announced on May 8, 2018, along with its official single artwork the day after. Epic Records released it on May 11, 2018, a day after "Let You Be Right". Both songs were intended to be part of Trainor's third major-label studio album Treat Myself (2020), but did not make the final cut. Lyrically, the pop and dance song sees Trainor asking a shy male to join her on the dance floor.
At a Q&A in March 2018, Trainor revealed that a music video for the song was already filmed, and described it as her favorite music video she had done so far; it would have featured her dancing "a lot" and "amazing looks", although it was ultimately not released. Trainor opened the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards with a medley of "Can't Dance", "No Excuses" (2018), "Let You Be Right" (2018), "Me Too" (2016) and "All About That Bass" (2014).
