Why Doesn't This Song Distort At High Volumes?

I humbly come before this community seeking an explanation. This song DOES NOT distort in my car system at near max volume. My mix distorts significantly well before this song does.

And it's not just my mix. Other songs are doing the same thing.

If every song I listened to distorted from turning up the volume in my car system, l'd accept that and it would make logical sense. But no. It's a mystery and I'm perplexed.

However all of these mixes sounds completely fine at medium or quiet levels. The distortion is heavily introduced by and when I crank the volume knob in the car... except for this song...

What is it about this mix? Is it just friendly with the EQ curve of my car system speakers? I just want to know.

I'm hoping you can listen to this song and provide some analysis.

Thanks for listening to my rant.

Generally, How Do You Approach Compression?

Spare the case by case use, how are you generally or broadly approaching compression?

Maybe there’s a pattern you’ve recognized after the fact. Are compressing most individual tracks, then bussing, then compressing those busses? Do you utilize parallel compression? Multi-band compression? Do you have one go-to compressor?

I have not found my “thing” yet. Compressors and I have a complicated relationship. We’re like acquaintances and it’s rare we actually both show up to the party let alone understand each other.
