Can't Stop Won't Stop is the debut studio album by American rock band The Maine.
The Maine formed in January 2007, consisting of John O'Callaghan on vocals, Kennedy Brock and Jared Momaco on guitar, Garrett Nickelsen on bass and Pat Kirch on drums. In November of that year, the group signed to independent label Fearless Records. Nickelsen called Fearless Records "a great label" and "really supportive." The following month, the group released The Way We Talk EP through the label. O'Callaghan said the EP showcased how the group was "transitioning musically," as well as demonstrating their "new attitude toward writing."
In December 2007, the band announced plans to tour with Number One Gun the following month. However, by the end of December, the group had cancelled the touring plans and announced that they would record their debut album instead. Recording started on January 14, 2008 and continued into February. "Count'Em, One, Two, Three" was re-recorded for the album; the original version appears on the Stay Up, Get Down EP.
On May 18, 2008, Can't Stop Won't Stop was announced for release, and the album's track listing and artwork was revealed. Also in May, the group went on a US tour alongside Metro Station, Forever the Sickest Kids, The Cab and Danger Radio. "Everything I Ask For" was made available for streaming via the group's Myspace account on June 4. From late June to mid-July, the band went on the 2008 edition of Warped Tour.Can't Stop Won't Stop was released on July 8 through independent label Fearless Records.
