Randy Urbanski worked as the recording engineer, while Chhim provided additional support as assistant engineer. The vocals were produced by Cole, with assistance from Blake.

On July 24, 2017, she previewed the song during a studio session on the premiere of the fourth season of the reality television series Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood . [2] Epic Records released the song for digital download and streaming on August 25, 2017, as the second single from 11:11 Reset, before distributing it to urban contemporary radio stations in the United States on September 17. [3] [4] On September 30, the song was ranked the fifth most-added single at urban adult contemporary radio. [5] In October, Cole gave an interview about 11:11 Reset with Stephanie Ogbogu of Vibe . Cole explained the inspiration behind the song, saying: "This song channels my own experience as a woman, realizing that sometimes things are not completely about you. Sometimes it’s about someone else not being able to give you that. Someone not being capable of even loving you the way that you love." [6]

Composition and lyrics

Musically, "Incapable" is an R&B ballad which lasts for a duration of 3:24 (three minutes and twenty-five seconds). [7] [3] The song is composed in the key of B♭major, set in common time signature, and has a moderately fast tempo of 180 beats per minute. [8] Instrumentation consists of an acoustic guitar, a Roland TR-808, and an emotional rhythm. [9] It includes a sample of American singer Rose Royce's single "I'm Going Down" (1976). [10] Chris Rizik of SoulTracks interpreted the composition as a power ballad with a "bluesy undertone". [7]

Lyrically, the song discusses a relationship where one partner is putting in more effort than the other. [11] An editor from Rap-Up viewed the lyrics as "heartbreaking" and felt that they revolve around an "ill-fated relationship". [12] Elle Breezy of Singersroom felt that the lyrics reference Cole's split from Daniel Gibson and that the song tells "the heartbreaking tale of realizing the person she loved didn't put in the same efforts into the relationship". [13] Isha Thorpe of iHeartRadio also felt that the lyrics focus on her split from Gibson, despite not being solely written by Cole. [14] Thorpe also suggested that the song "tells the story of a woman finally letting go of an ex who wronged her multiple times". [14]

Critical reception

"Incapable" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Royal Bey from The Source felt that the "strong" ballad reflects Cole's "uncanny" ability to hold "beautiful" notes. [15] Da'Shan Smith of Billboard labeled the song as an example of traditional R&B and declared that Cole "flirts with mixing trap 808s beneath the old swing of the '60s" on the song. [16]

An editor from TheGrio thought that the song "talks about a lover who simply doesn't have what it takes", [17] while Biana Garwood of Ebony deemed it as a "melancholy" track. [18] Keithan Samuels, writing for Rated R&B , classified "Incapable" as part of Cole's "solid foundation on songs related to love and relationships" and praised Cole's consistency of singing love songs. [11] James Wong of Tokyo Weekender described the song as "distinctively Keyshia", [19] while Tony Centeno from Vibe described it as "unique". [20]

Music video

Background and synopsis

A music video for "Incapable", directed by Mike He, was made available through Cole's Vevo account on October 6, 2017.

[22] Cole had also posted several images of herself on set via her official Instagram account one month prior to the release. [23] In the video, Cole and her love interest walk into a speakeasy, where men are gambling and music is playing in the background.

[22] Cole stands in front of the table and aggressively walks away, leaving her love interest humiliated. [25]

Reception

Critics praised the video for its retro style and felt that Cole was paying homage to the 1920s decade. [22] [25] Samuels of Rated R&B described the video as "cinematic". [26] Mikey Fresh of Vibe complimented the video's concept and its production, writing: "Having overcome of her share of shitty relationships, the Oakland-raised talent goes way back with her new video." [27] Sarah Michel of VH1 praised the wardrobe and choreography in the video and also interpreted that it ends just like "almost all of those situations". [25] An editor from Singersroom felt that Cole gave her love interest a "subtle payback" before leaving him and described the speakeasy as a "Cotton Club-styled venue". [28] Garwood of Ebony felt that Cole had decided "to take things into her own hands by getting revenge on the man who stole her heart" in the video. [18]
