About This Footage

Rob Thomas's Behind-the-Scenes Footage of "Can't Help Me Now" is a Rare Glimpse into the Making of a Platinum-Certified Album. In 2005, Rob Thomas was on top of the world.

The clip, directed by Kevin Slack, provides an intimate look at Thomas's songwriting process, showcasing his dedication to crafting meaningful lyrics and melodies. At this point in his career, Thomas had already established himself as a masterful songwriter with Matchbox Twenty, but "Something to Be" marked a new chapter in his solo journey.
