Sabrina Nejmah serves up a catchy & memorable track on “I Can’t Love You”
On her newest single “I Can’t Love You,” Sabrina Nejmah has given us a confident and emotionally resonant pop song that’s undoubtedly both polished and deeply personal. As her third release and a fresh entry into 2026, the track shows off an artist who isn’t only finding her voice but learning how to fully inhabit it. There’s a natural warmth to this song that draws you in immediately and keeps you there for its just under three minute runtime. Trust us, you’ll be singing along by the song’s end!
Born in 2008 and based in Hamburg, Nejmah brings a multicultural sensitivity to her music, shaped by her Moroccan and German heritage and a creative upbringing rooted in songwriting alongside her father. That foundation is evident here and it feels as natural as ever. The song feels carefully crafted but never stiff, built around her expressive vocals that lead the arrangement with grace. Her voice is lush and angelic, sitting comfortably at the center of the mix. There’s something about the ease in her delivery that makes theweight of the song feel natural. The way she sort of sucks you into her words is something that in our opinion, can’t really be taught.
Musically, “I Can’t Love You” leans firmly into pop, but it does so with a sense of color and movement that keeps things interesting and never one note. The instrumentation is bright to say the least, filled with lighter textures that give the track an uplifting feel even as it builds momentum towards the finish. The groove is immediate, carried by a rhythm that grows more assertive as the song progresses. Each section adds a little more energy, but there’s no doubt you’ll be hooked within the first 30 seconds or so.
One of the standout moments (and most surprising) arrives around the midpoint with a guitar solo that feels perfectly placed. Rather than breaking the song’s flow, it elevates it, adding a flash of personality. It kind of makes you think, did this song need a guitar solo? No, not really. But did we love it, yes, every second! It’s the kind of detail that separates a good pop track from a memorable one. Sometimes you take risks and they pay off and this is certainly one of them.
The chorus is undeniably catchy! Nejmah’s vocal phrasing here is especially strong, striking a balance between vulnerability and polish that feels well beyond her years. As the track continues, the arrangement subtly thickens in your subconscious. Step by step there’s a bloom in the sound that isn’t ever overt, but you find yourself nodding your head with all the energy that it gives.
“I Can’t Love You” is a clear step forward for Sabrina Nejmah. This is so clearly the sound of an artist building momentum, one inviting chorus at a time.
