"Lose Control" isn't just a song, it's a raw, emotional battle cry. Teddy Swims sings about how love turns him into a mess of emotions when he's not with his sweetheart. Swims wrote it about a romance he was in at the time. Reflecting on the experience, he told Official Charts: "I was sinking down from a bad relationship I was in. I wasn't taking care of myself. It got really co-dependent. I wanted to leave but didn't know how. When I did, it turned out to be the best thing for both of us. You can love somebody so much that it's not good for you anymore."

From the first note, Swims dives into the deep end of love's pool. He croons about feeling like the walls are closing in and the skin is tearing off his bones. It's a bad case of lovesickness. "Being in love can be like an addiction sometimes - always chasing the highs from the lows," Swims said of the track. "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."
