"Quitter" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Cameron Whitcomb. He wrote the track with Nolan Sipe, Ben Cottrill, and David Scaheman, the latter of whom produced the track.[1] The song is the title track and lead single off Whitcomb's 2024 extended play Quitter, released via Atlantic Records.[2]
In writing the song, Whitcomb took inspiration from his own personal experience overcoming addiction.[3]
Rosie Long Decter of Billboard Canada described "Quitter" as "anthemic folk track in the mould of Noah Kahan", noting a "a kick-clap beat" and Whitcomb's "growling vocal".[4] Alli Patton of Holler favourably spoke of the song, noting "sharp strums and a shuddering kick drum", as well as "a torrent of rhythm and steel. She described this as "an exciting and triumphant arrangement" which "feeds its message of recovery and resilience".[5]
