"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 is a piano-driven ballad with R&B and 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. It holds both the record for longest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, with 95 weeks and the longest charting song in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten, with 65 non-consecutive weeks.
