Out of Control is the darkest song on the album. It dives more into the personal issues Bolton faced in 2018-2019 before writing the album. Bolton says the song is about “losing control and loving it”. It feels like being at a party and letting go.
Bolton has said this song was inspired by Justice.
[Verse 1]
Told myself that this wouldn't happen (Happen)
But here I am, alone again
And loneliness has turned into habits (Habits)
But I'm not sorry for my sins
[Pre-Chorus]
Running, running away from
Something, something I'm chasin'
The high I'm finally letting go
Oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm out of control
Don't care anymore
I'm closing the door
Woah, woah
I'm out of control
So leave me alone
And I don't need you to save me
[Verse 2]
Told myself that this wouldn't happen (Happen)
I'm still awake at 6:34
The sun is coming up in the valley (Valley)
And I'm still ready for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Running, running away from
Something, something I'm chasin'
The high I'm finally letting go
Oh, oh-ooh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm out of control
Don't care anymore
I'm closing the door
Woah, woah
I'm out of control
So leave me alone
And I don't need you to save me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh (I'm out of control), oh-oh, oh-oh (Don't care anymore)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
I'm out of control
So leave me alone
And I don't need you to save me
