Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
I play when I wanna play
Yeah
I'll be where I'll wanna be
You ain't got no control on me
So let's...
Baby, where did your love go?
Didn't wanna let go
Baby, another one comes running
I've sat here laughing
'Cause I know I'll never be the one who's lost control
Tears amd I let go
Work when I wanna work
Yeah
I play when I wanna play
Yeah
I'll be where I'll wanna be
You ain't got no control on me
So go say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
I know I was once in love
But the only one who's lost control is you
Save ya, yourself the trouble
Don't come here knocking
Now have some more
Hey boy
Nah, I'm messing
Di you love me?
Are you kidding?
I wanna come back
I can only dream, dream
Work when I wanna work
Yeah
I play when I wanna play
Yeah
I'll be where I'll wanna be
You ain't got no control on me
So go say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
I know I was once in love
But the only one who's lost control is you
Work when I wanna work
Yeah
I play when I wanna play
Yeah
I'll be who I'll wanna be
You ain't got no control on me
So say what you wanna say
Do what you wanna do
I know I was once in love
But the only one who's lost control is you
Who's lost control is you
Who was it for
Ever seen the one
Who got control on you
Interpretation:
The song "Control" by Twin Wild is all about breaking free from the shackles of a controlling person in a relationship. The verses discuss the singer's freedom to do what they want, when they want, without attachment or obligation to anyone else. They call out the person who tries to control them, saying that they have no power over them anymore.
In the chorus, the singer sings about the loss of love in their relationship. They note that they haven't seen it in a while and that they were the one who let go. They laugh at the idea that this controlling person thinks they have control over the situation, but in reality, it is the singer who holds all the power. The verse then takes a turn, with the singer sarcastically teasing the controlling person by asking if they loved them and pretending to want to come back, ultimately revealing that it was all a dream.
Overall, the song is empowering and encourages listeners to take control of their lives and not let others dictate their choices or happiness.

You can say and do whatever you want, but I know you're the one having difficulty moving on. Don't try to come back, it's not worth the trouble, and I won't take you back. It's better to wish for something that will never happen than to try forcing it.

It's you who's struggling to let go of the old relationship, and it's self-inflicted. You can't control me, and nobody else can control you.
