Overall Meaning

The song "Lose Control" by Ciara, Missy Elliott and Fatman Scoop is a high-energy dance track that encourages listeners to let go and lose themselves in the music. The repeated line "music make you lose control" reinforces this message, suggesting that the beat is so infectious that it can't be resisted. Missy Elliott's rap is full of bravado, asserting that she is the queen of the scene and commanding everyone to get loose. Meanwhile, Ciara's vocals add a touch of sensuality as she sings about the way the music moves her body. The call and response sections between the three performers create a sense of unity and bring the party spirit to the forefront.


The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a club or party atmosphere, with all eyes on the dance floor as people move to the beat. The performers describe themselves and each other in outsized terms, with Ciara proclaiming her dominance over the "fly fellaz" and Missy Elliott referring to herself as a "misdemeanor" with a crew in tow. The song encourages booty-shaking and getting hyped up, with the goal of creating a communal experience of release and enjoyment.


Overall, "Lose Control" is a celebration of dance music and the way it can bring people together. It's a classic club anthem that's still played today and remains a popular karaoke choice.

"Dancers are not props" she understood what so many other artists have forgotten. Especially rappers.

@FelicityGemini

NOW IMAGINE THE TREND OF USING DRAG QUEENS IN MUSIC VIDEOS AS PROPS OH THEY GETTING DESPERATE! KEEP THEM BEAUTIFUL TALENTED LADIES ON STAGE SO I CAN GIVE THEM MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@mevox

FelicityGemini it’s barely a trend, considering how many artists include them in performances and in only a small amount of performances at that. Most drag queens are thankful for the exposure.

@FelicityGemini

@@mevox I would rather expose myself instead of being a prop.

@mevox

FelicityGemini ummm ok? That’s not what I was talking about.

@FelicityGemini

@@mevox then what is?
