Control
Beyoncé · Other Songs - Beyoncé
The storm that rages inside
The way that I hid my damage pride
You gave me away
And I've had enough
I imagine the words I say to you
I'm finding strength to follow it through
I'm ready to change
[Chorus:]
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
We're only friends, We're only friends
Tonight we'll let the music free our soul
So let it show, So let it show
We can't pretend, we can't pretend
We only find ourselves by loosing all
Control [x8]
I'm opening up
Show me a sign I can't relieve
These crazy emotions flow through me
I'm gonna explode
You take me away
And what is my ordinary life
I won't be afraid of what we might find a love I can hold
[Chorus:]
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
We're only friends, We're only friends
Tonight we'll let the music free our soul
So let it show, So let it show
We can't pretend, we can't pretend
We only find ourselves by loosing all
Control
Nothing ventured nothing gained
New horizon ready to paint
With every breath you take me away
[Chorus:]
I'm letting go, I'm letting go
We're only friends, We're only friends
Tonight we'll let the music free our soul
So let it show, So let it show
We can't pretend, we can't pretend
We only find ourselves by loosing all
Control [x8]
Control - Beyoncé
Beyoncé's 'Control' stands as a pivotal track from her 2013 self-titled album, marking a significant evolution in her musical direction. The song blends R&B and pop sensibilities with a distinct electronic edge, reflecting her growing confidence and artistic autonomy. Produced by The-Dream, the recording features a driving beat and layered vocals that emphasize themes of empowerment and self-assertion. Released during a period where Beyoncé was actively reclaiming her catalog and asserting her identity as a songwriter, the track resonated deeply with fans and critics alike. It exemplifies her ability to craft anthemic songs that address personal growth while maintaining her signature vocal prowess and emotional depth.
