  • She first performed the song on January 31, 2021 at the 2021 Seoul Music Awards.
• I Can't Stop Me is a sequel of More & More (and possibly to Dance The Night Away).
• This song is the first TWICE Song that performed in STUDIO CHOOM
• It is the second time for Momo to receive a rap part for a title track, alongside with Dahyun and Chaeyoung.
• This song was originally titled "51%", with the meaning of "going over the line".
• Most of the song was changed after the members had already recorded their parts, their current parts were also different from the ones in original version.
• Chaeyoung had the idea of flowers being projected onto the wall for certain parts of the music video, the part where she sings "This is an emergency" features this concept, among multiple other scenes featuring other members.
• One of the sets for the music video (being the one where the members are shown in blue outfits) had sand on the floor, Mina mentioned in an interview with Dispatch that she hurt her knees and even bled while dancing on that set.
