The Man Who Cant Be Moved was written by members of the Irish band The Script along with Steve Kipner. It was inspired by the idea of someone willing to do anything to catch the attention of a lost love, including staying in the same place where they first met in hopes the other would return. The song was released as the second single from the bands debut album and achieved international success.
