"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. It's a piano-driven ballad with R&B pop elements, while also incorporating influences from Motown, jazz, and country. The song's roots also include blues and soul.
Critics praised "Lose Control" for its unique blend of emotional vulnerability and catchy, ear-candy appeal. They have also highlighted the song's introspection, raw honesty about toxic relationships, and Teddy Swims' powerful vocals. It 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.[2][3] It has spent a record breaking 63 non-consecutive weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten. The song was ranked number one on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2024. In May 2025, it spent 92 weeks on the chart breaking the record for the most weeks on the chart, surpassing Glass Animals' "Heat Waves" in October 2022. It also topped the charts in Belgium, Bulgaria, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Iceland. It is certified diamond in France and platinum or higher in fourteen additional countries.

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."[4]
