"Their sound is serene melody, bone shaking bass, and ear piercing Electro noise all rolled into one fluid, handcrafted sound. One part Afrojack, two parts Skrillex, straight-up with a twist."
- The Campus Socialite
"Krewella is one of the fastest rising groups in EDM today."
- Bangerz Only
"It's weird to think that two beautiful sisters have the potential to create some of the best dubstep in today's saturated market. It certainly helps to have two hot DJ's but it's going to take a lot more to last in this industry. 'Killin' It' is a perfect example showing us why Krewella is here to stay"
- Break on a Cloud
"Them Krewella girls are so badass"
- superbangers.com
"One of the hottest trio acts in the electro world"
- Drop Beats Not Bombs
"It should be noted that Krewella, besides being drop-dead gorgeous and having some of the most beautiful voices out there, also make some of the best original dubstep productions in the game."

Can't Control Myself
Krewella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's do something that we shouldn't do,
I know that you want something more in life and I do too
La la la la
Take me there 'cause it's so overdue
Hit me like a rock, knock me out
I know you're dying to.
No doubt, you got me dropped down to your feet
One touch, will make me in love
No fakin', I can't control myself
You know I'll never get enough.
I can't control myself (oh oh oh ah ah oh)
Can't can't can't control myself.
Always on my mind turn these thoughts to verbs so we can do
Anything you like
No such thing as no, and I'm with you.
When we dim the lights, come in closer
Smell the sweet perfume
Heating up the night
Touch me now like there's no time to lose.
No doubt, you got me dropped down to your feet
I can't control myself you got me feeling for your lust.
One touch, will make me in love
No fakin'
I can't control myself
You know I never get enough.
I can't control myself (oh oh oh ah ah oh)
Can't can't can't control myself.
The song "Can't Control Myself" by Krewella is about two people wanting to do something that they shouldn't do, but can't resist due to their mutual attraction and desire for something more in life. The first verse sets the scene for this temptation, as the singer acknowledges that they both want something they can't have, yet they still want to take the risk and go for it. The chorus reinforces this feeling of loss of control, as the singer admits that they can't resist the other person's charms and the physical attraction they feel toward them. In the second verse, the focus is on the passion and intensity of the moment, with the lyrics describing the heat of the night, the sweet perfume, and the need to act quickly before it's too late.
Overall, the song is about the irresistible pull of temptation and the inability to resist someone or something when it feels so right in the moment, no matter the consequences. The lyrics depict the feeling of being lost in the moment and the thrill of living without control or reservations.
