Songfacts®:

  • "Can't Decide" is a 2025 minimal tech-house track by UK-based producers Max Dean, Luke Dean, and Locky. Released via Max Dean's neXup recz imprint, the song became a club favorite, gaining traction on platforms like TikTok and earning support from notable DJs such as Prospa, Josh Baker, and Chris Stussy. It debuted at #19 on the UK Singles chart dated May 30, 2025, becoming the first chart hit for all three producers.
  • Minimal tech-house is a highly rhythmic, stripped-back style of dance music that merges the groove of house with the minimalism of techno. It developed as a natural evolution from the fusion of techno and house in the UK and Europe during the 2000s. It's closely associated with sophisticated, experimental club nights and festivals, and is often favored by DJs and producers who appreciate intricate rhythms and detailed production.
  • Max Dean, Luke Dean, and Locky's collaboration on "Can't Decide" was fueled by their collective experiences on stage. Luke is also Max Dean's cousin, and the two often perform together and collaborate on tracks. Locky, meanwhile, became part of their circle through shared performances and label connections, particularly via Max Dean's neXup recz.
  • Max, Luke and Locky previously joined forces on "Curveball," which topped the Beatport charts and rattled more than a few sound systems.
  • The song samples London-based singer-songwriter Qendresa's vocals from her 2024 track "2 Much." Both Qendresa and "2 Much" producer Jordan Lee are credited as writers on "Can't Decide."
  • Lyrically, "Can't Decide" is about that most hopelessly analog of human experiences: romantic indecision. Qendresa explores the inner monologue of being caught between clinging and cutting loose.
