Regardless of the moderate recognition it received on the Billboard Hot 100, the song is a live performance staple. It also peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was the Chili Peppers' seventh number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, and second from the album By the Way. 'Can't Stop' was considered to be 'energetic' and melodically encompassing, by combining textured, melodic, and funky themes together into one. Some consider the song to be among the only true punk/funk sounds on the entire album, along with 'Throw Away Your Television'.

The song itself is distinct, especially when in comparison to the various other tracks on By the Way. However, in retrospect, they were not intended to be anything more than arbitrary actions, fitting with the ideas expressed in Wurm's work. His creative hand attempted to mirror Wurm's abstract 'One Minute Sculptures', by having the band perform random scenes, which seem to fit no purpose.

Orange was chosen to be the backsplash color by Romanek. The lighting was positioned in order to provide a clean-cut, contemporary atmosphere which would integrate with the video's concept. Inspiration for the video was attributed to Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, as indicated by the sign at the end of the video.

Frusciante later explained he was instructed to play the guitars by director Mark Romanek since they blended well with the color scheme used in the video he also noted that he was never actually playing the guitars.

The band engages in various activities, such as wearing a giant purple hippopotamus mask, playing with rubber balls, jumping, abstract scenes with boxes, buckets, water bottles, trash cans, flying through the air, pink foam peanuts, plants, playing guitar in a room full of empty blue chairs/room with lamps turning on and off.ДЄt certain segments of the video, one can see guitarist John Frusciante playing an orange Toronado and a silver Fender Stratocaster, which is unlike his style due to the fact that he only plays vintage guitars (both guitars being under five years of age). It begins with the camera swooping through a yellow tube to Anthony Kiedis, wearing glasses, and is subsequently followed by the foursome running through a hall with light fixtures attached to their backs. The Mark Romanek-directed music video for the single features all four of the band members doing seemingly random and excessively abstract actions such as holding many water bottles or attempting to balance buckets on their heads. The bridge marks a slight departure, as Kiedis suggests he had temporarily forgotten this philosophy, and looks to a new girlfriend to help himself back on his feet. The verses are addressed to the listener (or perhaps to himself), in an instructional tone, with references to Kiedis's own life, as well as citing the inspiration of Defunkt ('Defunkt, the pistol that you pay for') and Julia Butterfly Hill ('J. Nonetheless, the predominant theme of cultivating an inner, personal energy (evidenced in the title and the final line: 'This life is more than just a read-through.') can be understood in almost every line. Kiedis writes in his typical circumlocutory style. Lyrically, 'Can't Stop' is a prime example of the band's occasional use of writing lyrics to an established rhythm, rather than rhythms to established lyrics. He also makes extensive use of a tone-bend. Following the bridge, Frusciante utilizes a fuzz (Big Muff Pi by Electro Harmonix) in his solo. During the bridge, Frusciante plays sparsely in a reggae style, only strumming on the up-beat. The verse plays twice before the bridge, as well as the chorus. The song is instrumentally composed in 4/4 standard time and in the key of E minor.
