Kara Major’s “Can’t Control Me” Shows a New Side of EDM Music

Kara Major ‘s latest single, “Can’t Control Me,” arrives like a shock to the system: a high-octane blend of rave-ready production, unapologetic lyrics, and a message so unfiltered it practically dares you to look away. This isn’t just an EDM anthem — it’s a confrontation with every cultural script that tells you to shrink.

One part bass drop, one part spiritual rebuke, “Can’t Control Me” pulses with the defiant energy of someone who’s stared down her own vices — and maybe even danced with them. The track’s title might sound like festival bait, but Kara’s inspiration goes deeper. Think ancient etymology, occult history, and the kind of personal reckoning that doesn’t usually make it to the main stage.

“Alcohol comes from the Arabic ‘al-kuhl,’ which literally means ‘body-eating spirit,’” Kara Major explains, referencing the ghostly concept that sparked the song. “It made me wonder — what if it’s not us acting out when we’re wrecked, but something else taking over?”

That kind of take is bold, a little eerie, and honestly, refreshing as hell. Especially in a scene where playlists are shaped by algorithms and success is measured in likes. Kara’s not here to chase the drop — she’s here to chase meaning.

The real kicker? She’s doing it all while refusing to be boxed in. Major is a boxing champion, a creative entrepreneur, and now a one-woman EDM resistance movement. She writes her own rules and refuses to pick between the boardroom and the dance floor.

“Societal norms tell us to hide who we really are and say we can’t be successful in business while pursuing creative passions. But that’s all lies and limiting beliefs.” she says. “Do what makes you feel alive and stand unapologetically in your truth.”

On “Can’t Control Me,” Kara doesn’t just blur those lines — she obliterates them. This is the kind of song that hits you in your chest and then follows you home. The beat is heavy, but the message is heavier.
