"Lose Control" is a song by American singer-songwriter Teddy Swims, released on June 23, 2023, through Warner Records as the second single from his debut studio album I've Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1) (2023). The song was co-written by Swims with Joshua Coleman, Marco Rodriguez, Mikky Ekko, and Julian Bunetta, who also produced the song.
Lose Control became a commercial success and was Swims' first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100, debuting at number 99 and peaking at number one in March 2024. This 32-week climb is the longest consecutive climb to number one of all time. It holds both the record for longest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, with 112 weeks, and the longest charting song in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten, with 80 non-consecutive weeks. The song was ranked number one on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2024 as well as the 2024 year-end singles chart of New Zealand. It also topped the charts in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Iceland. It is certified diamond in US, Canada, France, and the Netherlands and platinum or higher in twelve additional countries.
Background
Lose Control was written over a period of four days at a writing camp in Palm Springs, with a big part of the writing process focused on showcasing Swims' powerful vocals.
Teddy Swims explaining the song:
Being in love can be like an addiction sometimes — always chasing the highs from the lows. It's about losing yourself and losing control when it all starts to cave in and thinking that the only way out is through being with that person, chasing that feeling over and over again.
