Overall Meaning

The song "Lose Control" is an upbeat and energetic party anthem that exhorts listeners to let go of their inhibitions and groove to the music. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing the power of music to make people lose control, while Missy Elliott and Fat Man Scoop take turns rapping with their unique flows. Ciara joins the party with her distinctive vocals, declaring that the music makes her lose control and inviting others to join her. The lyrics describe the scene at a club, where everyone is dancing and having a good time, and encourage people to get their backs off the wall and let loose.


One way to interpret the lyrics is as a celebration and empowerment of the joy and freedom that can come from dancing and music. By encouraging people to let go of their inhibitions and lose control, the song creates a space where people can be themselves and express themselves through movement without fear of judgement or social norms.

"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?
